With a dwindling economy, an ongoing war, and unemployment rates skyrocketing, this election is perhaps the most important of our lives. The importance of casting your vote cannot be understated. With voter registration for the 2008 Presidential Election coming to a close, you don't want to miss out. So if you haven't registered to vote on November 4th, act now!

Each of SCI's 3 locations (The Dorchester House, the the Codman Square Health Center) are now sponsoring open voter registrations. In order to vote in this year's Presidential Election, Massachusetts residents must be registered by October 15th. Each of the 3 community centers will be holding separate registrations and their hours differ.

The Dorchester House will be sponsoring their voter registration drive on Tuesday, October 14th from 1 to 5 PM and on Wednesday, October 15th from 9 AM to 1 PM. For more information or if you would like to volunteer at the drive, please contact Director of Planning and Development Ira Schlosser at 617-740-2265 or email him at ira.schlosser@dorchesterhouse.org .
