Wilmette League of Women Voters
The Wilmette League of Women Voters was organized in 1924 by Mrs. J.G. Wray, chair of the Civic and Legislative Committee of the Wilmette Woman's Club. The first aim of the group was to educate and convince newly-franchised women to use their right to vote. Later that aim was broadened to fostering the growth of the well-rounded citizen by political education in various fields. The League continues to be an active organization and it has contributed to many Village projects.
