Hi PTA Presidents, VIS Reps, Communication Directors and VIS Supporters,
Hope you all had a nice Spring Break!
Can you believe it…only 8 days until all ballots are due! WOO HOO! Almost there! This is the info to get out this week – please return your ballot! Many people in our school communities were on vacation last week so we need to make a huge effort to remind everyone to please VOTE YES and return their ballots asap this week! Thank you!
Please see below for Ballot Return messaging info and a JPG image of a graphic to share or post this week.
Final Honk & Wave is next Monday April 25th AM&PM – to remind people to vote by the deadline Tuesday April 26th. There are AM and PM times, please bring your friends and kids for this last community effort to remind people to vote! Contact Jody Mull if you have any questions at jodymull@comcast.net

All LIT Drop pieces need to be dropped on doorsteps by next Sunday 4/24 please! – if you still have some of your Lit drop pieces – now is the time to get out and enjoy the sunshine and get those final pieces dropped off on doorsteps! Thank you all so much for your help! Contact Lida Buckner if you have any questions at lidaj@comcast.net
**NEW Volunteer Opportunity!*** Phone Bank: We need volunteers (parents, community members, middle & high school students) to help make phone calls to remind people to turn in their ballots on Sunday, April 24th at the King County Library Service Center – anytime from 5-8pm. A script will be provided, you can leave a message on their answering machine. Volunteers will need to use their own cell phones to make these calls. Please contact Alicia or Dawn at alicia@visvote.org or dawn@visvote.org if you can help any amount of time.
Please communicate to your parents, neighbors and community members how important it is to get their ballots returned this week and to Vote YES for this bond measure. Issaquah has passed its bonds and levies for the past several years, so some people may feel like this bond will pass even without their vote. This bond needs a supermajority (60% + 1) approval to pass – so every YES VOTE matters and makes a difference!
Returning your ballot by mail or to a ballot drop off location. We need a 60% Yes Vote to pass this bond, so every vote counts!
By mail – put a first-class stamp on your ballot and mail it back. Your ballot must be postmarked by next Tuesday, April 26th. Please don’t wait until the last minute!
Ballot drop off locations: Return your ballot to a ballot drop off location, no stamp required. Your ballot must be returned to a ballot drop off location by 8pm on April 26th.
1. The Issaquah Police Dept has a drop box right out front 24 hours a day.
2. Sammamish City Hall will have a drop off van on April 23rd 10-5pm; April 25 10-5pm; Election Day April 26 10-8pm
