This year the Moore County League of Women Voters celebrates its 25th year. In doing some research (reading past issues of The Pilot), I found the names of the founding members of the Moore County League. We know that many have moved on or out of town, but ­perhaps readers will know of their whereabouts. The League would like to honor them at a luncheon meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 16, when we will celebrate the 90th anniversary of the National LWV.
