[WPA]Women's Equality DAy!

[wpa@ipepp.org]

WPA Members,
   Just a few updates for you.  I secured Gooseberry Park in Moorhead for
August 28th (a Sunday) for our Women's Equality Day Event.
   Also, I met with Cecilee from Business and Professional Women.  They
would like to co-sponsor the event!!  Below is what the two of us came
up with (a tentative plan which is open to suggestions).  We are
looking for a keynote speaker to talk on about the history of the Roe v
Wade decision.  Cecilee has someone in mind (her name escapes me right
now) but suggestions are welcome.  We would invite all the women
candidates to attend and incorporate them into the event somehow.
   BPW has invited us to their next meeting to finalize the plans.  They
are meeting Tuesday August 9th at the Windgate.  I will get back to you
with the time and other details.  We will of course be planning and
working on the event prior to that meeting.
   If you have questions or concerns please contact me!!
