Help our members track the City of Dallas Council meetings.
Ways You Can Help:
1. Follow Dallas Documenters for on-the-ground insights and meeting notes: Dallas Free Press Meeting Briefs https://dallasfreepress.com/public-meeting-briefs/
2. Monitor news sources for City of Dallas coverage.
3. Watch Council meetings and commission meetings to track discussions on issues. Meetings are typically the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month. You can confirm the meeting dates here: https://citysecretary2.dallascityhall.com/pdf/council_calendar.pdf. Videostream is accessible at http://bit.ly/3WKHMUh
Lastly, provide a very brief summary or highlight about the meeting. Or let Diane know if the Dallas Documenter report is sufficient. We hope your efforts will give the LWVD Board advance notice of when the League should advocate for an issue to the Trustees. The advocacy is done by the President - not the Observer.
Once you sign up, Diane Tasian will receive an automatic email and follow up with you.
Thank you for helping us stay informed and advocate for our community!

VG & rack card - DISTRIBUTION

Location: Oak Lawn Library
Address: 4100 Cedar Springs Road Dallas, TX 75219 United States of America
Description:
Calling all volunteers to deliver Voters Guides and rack cards (formerly known as bookmarks) across Dallas County. We will distribute the materials to you on Tuesday April 14 and you will have until Monday, April 20 (the first day of Early Voting) to complete your deliveries.
Sign up:
- Registering for a time slot gives us a way to communicate with you.
- The time slots will also help us ensure we have enough Distribution support on hand when you come pick up your bundles.
- The time slots begin at 9:30. We will text you to let you know that the materials have been delivered to the Library. You will have until 4 pm to come pick up your materials.
- The time slots are only for Thursday, February 5 since picking up materials is the critical first step.
- We believe a team of 2 or 3 people for each of the 9 sectors of the county will make this process go smoothly.
- If you would prefer to be a Distribution SUPPORT volunteer, please see that volunteer opportunity.
Pick up your bundle(s):
- Tuesday, April 14, at the Oak Lawn Library, 4100 Cedar Springs Road, Dallas, TX 75219. We are using the same pick up location and process we did for the last two elections.
- After 4pm on April 14 all material will be moved to the office at BIll J Priest. If you missed the TBD pick up, bundle pick-up will be by appointment at our office location, Room 109, Bill J. Priest Center - Dallas College, 1402 Corinth Street, Dallas, TX 75215 . Please call/text Diane Tasian, 214 850-7054, to arrange a time to meet at our office.
Check out process:
- When you come to pick up guides and bookmarks, you will be able to select your delivery area(s). The cover sheets for each drop-off location will be sorted into 9 sectors. Cover sheets will include the drop-off address and any contact info we have.
- You will hand your selection to support volunteers who are pulling the bundles together. They will direct you to the waiting area where we will have coffee and sweets. They will gather your selections and when done will direct you to the check-out table. At the check-out table your cover sheet(s) and the bundles are verified.
- Then we will help you load everything into your vehicle.
Deliveries:
- You choose when to make your deliveries.
- We are hoping to complete deliveries by Friday, April 17, so voters have this information in time for Early Voting. Ballot by Mail voters will have already received their ballots, and may want to visit their neighborhood library to read the Voters Guide.
If you have any questions, please call/text Diane Tasian, 214-850-7054 or Madge Cruse, 214-728-5599.
