The 2008-2009 program year for the Boston League started off with an unexpected surprise in August as we became the recipients of a $9,000 grant from LWVUS Education Fund through the good graces of American Express. With a specific directive to produce materials helpful to voters prior to the fall 2008 elections, the Boston League decided to produce first-time voter guides in five languages: English, Chinese, Spanish, Haitian Creole, and Vietnamese. In June 2009, the Boston League was proud to receive the Lotte E. Scharfman Award from the League of Women Voters of Massachusetts "in recognition of its successful Voter Service activities for 2008-2009."
