The following was submitted by the League of Women Voters:

Do you have questions about the Common Core State Standards? Come to the League of Women Voters’ fall kick-off social “Common Core and Conversation” on Saturday, Sept. 20 from 4:00 to 6:00pm at Re-invent Gallery, 202 E. Wisconsin Ave., Lake Forest. Enjoy wine and canapés while listening to Michael Simeck, Superintendent of School Districts 67 and 115, and Dr. Kevin Rubenstein, Director of Curriculum for District 65. After their short presentations, there will be plenty of time for questions and discussion. As state standards are being implemented nationally, some concerns have arisen. This is a great opportunity to hear answers regarding your specific issues.

Also, learn about the League of Women Voters-Lake Forest/Lake Bluff Area and upcoming activities. The calendar is filled with voter registration drives, candidate debates, along with other public meetings and programs. Meet League members and consider joining. We are an active and involved group!
