Share the Plate
CASA (Citrus County Abuse Shelter Association) will be the recipient of Share the Plate donations for the 3rd quarter of this year. Their mission is to help victims and survivors of domestic violence become independent by providing shelter, safety, intervention, and education, and to educate the community for social change. In addition to shelter, they provide an advocate to work with the survivor as well as empowerment programs and children’s services.
Social Activities
Thank you to the twenty members who showed up for the Potluck Pool Party. The food was delicious with all different salads, different kinds of chicken, and several decadent desserts! The weather was perfect and people got to enjoy the pool.
The Broad of Directors approved of a special sign that will hang in the lobby. It says “HOME SWEET HOME”. It matches the color scheme and will be seen right when you come in. Sandy Sondheim always says this is his home and many of us feel the same way. Thank you to the board for your approval.
Happy summer,
Bonnie Anderson
Assisting Felons to get their voting rights reinstalled
HB 73 & SB 132, were filed for the 2026 legislative session to require the Florida Commission on Offender Review to develop a database to assist felons in verifying their voting rights restoration status.
Please call your legislators to vote in favor of these bills.

Social Justice
NCUU is helping the League of Women Voters Committee to sponsor 2 events on Saturday July 25th.
Everyone is invited to attend one or both events.
9-12:30 is a class to teach lawyers and others about helping Felons to qualify to vote again. This is a continuing education credit class for lawyers but appropriate for anyone interested in the process of getting back the vote. This is free of charge to everyone and includes a break and lunch.
At 4-5:30 will be a “Mix & Sip” casual meeting to discuss the Restoration of Felon Voting Rights. Wine, beer, soft drinks & cheese & crackers will be served.
Cecile Scoon, ESQ (a lawyer) will be the instructor and leader of the class and discussion. She has had a lot of experience helping folks with this topic.
We would like you to RSVP only for numbers for refreshments.
