Registered and Ready House Party: Promoted as a party with a purpose, the Leavenworth Alumnae Chapter hosted a Registered & Ready House Party to encourage viewers to help their friends and family register to vote and understand the power of making their voices heard in the General Election. Each person who viewed the event was encouraged to help their friends and family get registered to vote for the upcoming General Election. Topics discussed included voter registration status and verification, the safety of mail-in and absentee voting, checking in on college students voting for the first time and via absentee ballot, and creating a voting day plan. More than 200 viewers tuned into the event and were challenged to each text 10 people, giving the chapter the ability to potentially reach over 2,000 prospective eligible voters. Viewers were treated to a variety of music crossing multiple generations as Johnny The DJ Quest of Your KC DJ spun records during the two-hour YouTube live event.
