Why should I join?
Our members are women and men from the Wilkes-Barre Area —
citizens age 18 or older who seek the opportunity to “lead and
serve” in our community by promoting political responsibility
through education. If you choose to get involved, you will
gain knowledge and experience through the study and discussion of
timely and important topics. Through participation in League
projects, you will contribute valuable service to the
community. You will discover new interests, develop new
skills and learn about crucial issues in your community. As
you meet others in our local League who share your interests, you
will make professional contacts and develop lasting friendships.
