Voices United 2024 First Monthly Meeting and 2023 Year-in-Review

Tiffany Ramzy

Voices United is a non-partisan women’s group who share progressive values, perform community outreach, provide civic awareness and social contact for members, and have a good time. Each month on the first Saturday there is a monthly general meeting/luncheon (often with a guest speaker in attendance). There are also regular monthly scheduled independent discussion groups.

Women of Robson Ranch are invited to start the year off right by attending the next meeting of Voices United from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 6, in the clubhouse. A baked potato bar buffet lunch will be available for $20. During the meeting, special guest, Girl Scout Victoria Meyers, will be speaking to the group about a project she is working on to revitalize the Macedonia/Champion Cemetery in Lewisville.

For more information on Voices United or to join the group, contact [email protected]. Annual dues are $20. Voices United is a 501(c)(3) group.
