Berks County League of Women Voters may disband

The Berks County League of Women Voters, which has been providing nonpartisan information to voters and hosting candidate forums for seven decades, is on life support.

Less than 20 active members remain in the group and just nine of them voted to keep the organization going at a recent meeting.

Efforts are under way by the state and national League to keep the Berks group afloat for another years, but it's not looking good unless more people join and become involved.

From the Reading Eagle:

The League of Women Voters of Berks County is fighting for its life.

After a knockout 9-8 vote June 26 to disband the group, members convened a special meeting and voted to continue with a streamlined format for one more year, leaving the specter of an end to the group still in play.
