ALL EAST BATON ROUGE PARISH CIVICS CLASSES RECEIVE NEW MAPS for the FIRST TIME in 20 YEARS

The League of WoMen Voters of Baton Rouge Education Foundation and Cox Communications presented new maps, globes and other educational materials last week to the East Baton Rouge Parish school system for use in 33 civics classrooms.

The materials are the product of LWV-BREF’s Vision 2001. The banquet raised more than $16,000 to purchase materials from a list supplied by the parish’s civics education teachers and former social studies coordinator, Dr. Joseph Cornelious.

The group also contributed copies of three publications from the Public Affairs Research Council: "Your Louisiana Government: an Owners Manuel," "PAR Guide to the 2000 Louisiana Legislature," "The Politics of Reform: PAR: Fifty Years of Changing Louisiana" and a copy of the League of Women Voters, "Choosing the President, A Citizen’s Guide to the 2000 Election" for each class.
