Beloit School District Asthma Inhaler Funds

LWV of Beloit is a member of the Stateline Clean Air Coalition.  Currently, the Coalition is supporting the School District of Beloit with fundraising to fully stock their Stock Albuterol Program.  A full stock in all schools will cost $7,000.

The Stock Asthma Medication Program aims to make sure emergency inhalers are available to any student who experiences respiratory distress. 

Those who want to donate to the cause can do so HERE.  Please indicate the donation is for the "Stock Albuterol Program"

ACTION: The Beloit League Board approved a letter writing campaign to Governor Evers regarding opening voting to those in jail/prison who have been convicted of felony offenses. There are currently two states (Vermont and Maine) that allow all citizens to vote, no matter what their judicial status may be. In Wisconsin, felons may not vote until they are “off paper”, meaning they have completed all time and all fees/fines that have been ordered by the court and/or probation. This may not be consistent for each person convicted. We are encouraging all our league members, as well as friends and family members, to write to Governor Evers and/or your state representative or senator. See the templates HERE
