Judy Feather was one of the League's founding members.  Around 1965, she heard about the League at a Jaycee convention and decided that Lebanon County could benefit from a nonpartisan, political organization where women could study issues and learn about government.  From her leadership efforts, the present day LWV of Lebanon County emerged.

At the YMCA, eleven people attended the first meeting organized by Judy Feather, Rose Christianson, Esther Kline, Hannah Lazin, Jean Henry, and Edith Krohn.  Reaching 35 members, on May 18, 1966, Lebanon became a Provisional League.  Officers were:

Other early members included:  Clair Behm, Polly Ehrgood, Monique Guenin, Mary Hoffman, Diana Reilly, Anita Schaffer, Mary Louise Sherk, and Betty Yeager.  Charter members spent the first two years compiling and publishing a "Know Your County" booklet and garnering the fifty members required for recognition as a full-fledged Local League by the LWVPA.  In 1968 full status was achieved in time for our League to participate in the study and subsequent lobbying for the admission of Red China into the United Nations (a very controversial topic at the time).  Our first Finance Drive, held in April 1967, reached its goal of $400.  Some of our early meetings covered topics such as Constitutional Revision, Charter Commission, and Election Laws.  Judge G. Thomas Gates was one of our first speakers.

In 1995, Judy Feather and Miriam Davidon were honored for their dedication and service to the League by being placed on the Anna Estes Strawbridge Honor Roll that was established as part of the LWVPA's 65th anniversary celebration to those individuals who have demonstrated energy and commitment to the ideals and principles of the League.  Anna Strawbridge was a founding mother of the LWVPA, and the honor roll was created in her memory. 

Miriam Davidon was the backbone of the League's voter service efforts.   She joined the League in 1982 and almost immediately became immersed in her League "career" by editing our Legislative & Election Directory and planning voter registration efforts.  By 1984 Miriam was a recognized League "expert" on voting, giving a radio interview on WLBR, AM 1270, and issuing press releases about registration rules, election procedures, and voter registration drives.   Other recipients of the Anna Estes Strawbridge award were
