Before you head on over to the Valentine Card Making Party at Liz’s house next Thursday to make cards for our February Ladies Who Lunch, consider stopping in and lending your talent to a team of local leaders who are looking to leverage community support for an exhibit about the 100th anniversary of women voting in Washington State.

2010 is a special year for Washington women…who won the right to vote on November 8^th a century ago. To commemorate this momentous anniversary, a statewide traveling exhibition, Women’s Votes, Women’s Voices, will open at the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture on October 30 and serve our regional audiences through June 26, 2011.

In advance of the exhibit’s opening at the MAC, we need community advisors with ideas, connections, and strategies for:

• Exhibition opening events, October 30 – November 8
• Programs and events throughout the exhibit’s run in Spokane
• Networking, marketing, and underwriting strategies
• Ongoing projects that document and collect the histories of Eastern Washington women

and women’s organizations, past and present.

Please join us at an informational meeting on Thursday, February 11, 3:30—5 pm in the Gilkey Room at the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture, 2316 West First Avenue. Your organization is important to this effort; if you are unable to attend, we hope that you’ll send another representative.

Please RSVP. We look forward to your valuable input during this project.

Sincerely,

Marsha Rooney, Senior Curator of History
