Micah Center Volunteers Generate 205 Letters

​There could be an increase of new local voters at the polls, thanks to an initiative of the Marlborough-based Micah Center for Social Justice. To encourage more people to cast a ballot, the Center sponsored a campaign to send hand-written letters to area people eligible to vote. Penning their notes at home or at a recent gathering at the home of Jan and Beth Conlin, volunteers generated an impressive 205 missives. 
       Each letter had a personalized note from the writer indicating why they believed it was important to vote. The reasons were as varied as the baker’s dozen of volunteers.  Deb Roberts, Micah Center chair, recalls these statements: “Voting is powerful;” “Everyone is important and we must vote to share our vision of the country;” “My vote is a way to create a better future for all of us, with good jobs, good healthcare, and safe communities;” and “I feel that it's extra important to speak up, particularly when our country is faced with challenges.”
       In addition to Deb Roberts, Jan and Beth Conlin, letter writers included Bev Broz, Marlea Dutt, Beth Garner, Peg Harbert, Judy Kellogg, Pam Narahara, Anita Phelan, Jim and Joni Schalkhauser, and Melanie Whapham.
