The League of Women Voters of Oak Park & River Forest is turning 100!

We're celebrating a century of empowering voters and defending democracy.

One hundred years ago, a group of citizens in Oak Park and River Forest formed a chapter of the recently formed National League of Women Voters to help women carry out their new responsibilities in casting ballots. They warmed to the mission, paving the way for women to serve on juries, promote voter education and beautify the neighborhood.

Today our chapter is one of the oldest and largest in the state of Illinois.
To celebrate our League and our 100 years of empowering voters and defending democracy, we will have a Centennial Gala on October 20, 2024, at the Nineteenth Century Club, 178 Forest Avenue, Oak Park. Cocktails and dinner will start at 5:30pm.  Invitations are being mailed the first week of September but you can purchase your tickets online now.
