Don't forget to vote!

Voting is a privilege.  Please don't forget to participate in shaping our future.  I remember my grandmother, born 1898, telling me about women's suffrage and earning the right to vote at the age of 22!  It was a very important day in her life and she celebrated it every election year until she died, at the wonderful age of 109.  [The election of 1920 was the first election in which women had the right to vote in all 48 states.*]
*the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment was August 18, 1920.
