Wednesday is our last monthly luncheon before the election. Join us October 10 from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm in the back room at Fort Ball Pizza, 91 North Washington St., Tiffin. You can come and go as your schedule permits. All candidates and officeholders will have the opportunity to speak briefly. It's only $5.99 plus beverage, tax, and tip for all you can eat pizza, pasta, and salad bar. Everyone is welcome to join us.

Wednesday evening is the annual League of Women Voters candidates night. We need a good turnout to support our candidates in this bipartisan forum. It is at 7:00 pm on October 10 at Tiffin Middle School, 103 Shepherd Dr, Tiffin, OH 44883 at the intersection with Ella St.

Our State Representative Bill Reineke, Commissioner Mike Kerschner, and Auditor Julie Adkins are scheduled to speak. If you are unable to attend, it may be broadcast on WTTF, WTSC or cable TV.

Early voting starts Wednesday, so voter registration closes Tuesday. If you are one of over 2000 Seneca County voters who have requested an absentee ballot, you should be receiving it in the mail this week.

If you need to update your address, name, or register to vote, Tuesday is the last day. The Board of Elections office will be open until 9:00 pm, or you can do it online. Check your registration, then follow the links to get your sample ballot or update your information.

You can reserve online for our annual Hog Roast. It is Thursday, October 25 at 6:00 pm at the Junior Fair Building at the Seneca County Fairgrounds in Tiffin. For only $10 per person, we will be providing the meat, buns, and drinks. Please bring a side dish or dessert. You can also reserve by contacting Vanessa Treft at 567-224-5984, Holly Stacy at 419-992-4582, or Cindy Taylor at 567-230-0478.

We will also be auctioning donated items, so please bring something for our fundraiser if possible. If you cannot attend the dinner, please contact a committee member above for pickup, or you can drop it off at our headquarters below.

Our headquarters is open to pick up yard signs and literature for all our candidates. But we need your help to keep it open! We have a prime location at 108 South Washington St., at the corner of East Market St. in Tiffin, across from Courthouse Square. To volunteer, contact Vanessa Treft at 567-224-5984.

We have modified the hours. It is now scheduled to be open from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm Monday to Friday and 10:00 am to 1:00 pm on Saturdays.

To pickup yard signs when we don't have a volunteer at headquarters, stop at Paper and Ink, 98 South Washington St., open 10:00 am to 10:00 pm, seven days a week.
