Important public transportation forum Jan. 19, 5:30 p.m., Founders Hall at Precious Blood of Christ Catholic Church. Our League and the legislative, transportation and elder issues committees of Precious Blood of Christ Catholic Church are joining to host a town hall style meeting to present a plan for public transportation in Pawleys Island and Litchfield. Coast RTA will conduct the program with the appropriate public officials in attendance. All area churches were to receive an invitation to attend along with a survey for distribution. These surveys will be available at the meeting as well. Our hope is to provide a bus route to accommodate intra-neighborhood transportation to connect with bus routes already established going north to hospitals, medical complexes, educational opportunities, entertainment venues as well as work places and south to Georgetown for like purposes and then on to Charleston. This service could also bring tourists to our communities and provide much needed public transportation through the neighborhoods. Founders Hall is the original church, on the right of the property as you enter.

Membership meeting Monday, Jan. 23, 11:30 a.m., Applewood Pancake House; topic is teacher evaluation. The speaker will be Edward Jadallah, Ph.D., Dean of the Coastal Carolina University Spadoni College of Education, Professor of Curriculum and Instruction. As part of our participation in the LWV SC study of evaluation and retention of effective teachers, Dr. Jadallah will address this important and interesting contemporary issue. As we were reminded at our annual meeting, there is a growing movement toward "results based" evaluation of teachers nationally and in South Carolina.

Mark your calendars for planned membership meetings Feb. 20, March 19 and April 16, most likely also lunch meetings at Applewood. More information to come.
