As Whatcom county residents receive their “vote by mail” ballots this week, press on the various elections and issues builds.  Two very important races that tend to draw less attention are for Whatcom County Auditor and Whatcom County Sheriff.

Whatcom Women’s Network has invited both Auditor and Sheriff candidates to dialogue on themselves and what they offer to the positions they are seeking.

 

Please RSVP to: director {at sign} whatcomwomensnetwork.com

When: Thursday October 27th, 2011 – 12:00pm – 1:15pm
Where: WWN weekly lunch meeting at On Rice – Fairhaven
Guest Presenters: County Auditor Candidates: J. Lynne Walker & Debbie Adelstein; County Sheriff Candidates: Bill Elfo & Steve Harris

 

Although our members will certainly have personal opinions on these races, as an organization we strive to remain politically neutral and present a fair opportunity to explore the positions & issues from multiple perspectives.  We invite you to join us.
