While the LWV mission remains "the informed and active participation of citizens in government," there are new aspects of government to learn about as we work to achieve this mission. Our vision of the New World is: _ Changing demographics with new ethnic and cultural diversity _ Changing political issues and governmental policies _ Emerging new technologies _ New ways to get the facts and learn from the experts _ New ways to practice and perpetuate democracy--the Web. We will incorporate the theme, It's a New World, throughout the convention--music, decorations, speakers, and marketing. All five Leagues in Orange County--the ILO, North Orange County, Central Orange County Area, Orange Coast, Capistrano Bay Area--are ready to share their enthusiasm and excitement with all attendees. Orange County is the second most populous county in California, but in square miles is ninth smallest of the 58 California counties. And there is more to Orange County than Disneyland. Orange County has world class beaches, educational institutions and shopping, such as Laguna Beach, University of California at Irvine, and South Coast Plaza. We will arrange tours to these sites, as well as to Bowers Museum, which is affiliated with the Smithsonian. Of course, Disneyland attractions are just next door, easily accessible on the area 'shuttle' for dining and amusement. Just let us know of your interests. Our demographics range from the largest Vietnamese population outside of Vietnam, an historic Mexican population (Santa Ana), a contingent of American Indians in the San Juan Capistrano Mission area, to "Anglos" of all kinds. Our November ballot was printed in five languages. University of California, Irvine (UCI) is famous for its high tech research--its faculty includes Nobel Prize Laureates, such as F. Sherwood Rowland, for Atmospheric Chemistry/ozone layer. Examples of other high tech applications can be found at UCI Medical School--Brain Imaging Center (research in mental disorders and dementia) and Beckman Laser Institute (research in the application of Laser technology to treat scars from burns and other traumas). Also located at UCI are branches of the U.C. Institute of Transportation Studies, and the California Public Policy Institute. California State University, Fullerton, produces actors, song and dance stars, and baseball champions, as well as teachers, computer programmers, engineers, chemists, economists, nurses and pre-med graduates. Chapman University, in Orange, is famous for its Economic Forecasts. And--the first Community College in California is in Fullerton! With all of this indigenous talent to draw upon, your Convention Planning Committee and the LWVC Board have assembled speakers and entertainment commensurate with a grand and glorious League event. It's a New World! Joan Riddle and Mary-Evelyn Bryden, Co-Chairmen, LWVC Convention 2005

Thursday, November 6, 2008	6:30pm	Irvine Heritage Park Library 14361 Yale Ave. Irvine, CA 92604	Irvine Unit Meeting. Suffrage docudrama: "Iron-Jawed Angels". For Information: 949 400-2183 IRON JAWED ANGELS recounts a key chapter in U.S. history: in this case, the struggle of suffragists who fought for the passage of the 19th Amendment. Focusing on the two defiant women, Alice Paul (Hilary Swank) and Lucy Burns (Frances O'Connor), the film shows how these activists broke from the mainstream women's-rights movement and created a more radical wing, daring to push the boundaries of political protest to secure women's voting rights in 1920. Alice is a Quaker and Lucy an Irish Brooklynite but they are united in their fierce devotion to women's suffrage. In a country dominated by chauvinism, this is no easy fight, as the women and their volunteers clash with older, conservative activists, particularly Carrie Chapman Catt (Angelica Huston). They also battle public opinion in a tumultuous time of war, not to mention the most powerful men in the country, including President Woodrow Wilson The women are thrown in jail, with an ensuing hunger strike making headline news. The women's resistance to being force-fed earns them the nickname "The Iron Jawed Angels." However, it is truly their wills that are made of iron, and their courage inspires a nation and changes it forever.
