The LWVCA will be celebrating this year's Women's Equality Day, which marks the 90th anniversary of both the League of Women Voters and the ratification of the 19th Amendment that extended voting rights to women, with a special dinner event beginning at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday evening, August 26, 2010, at the Town and Country Inn & Conference Center. Inez Tenenbaum will be the keynote speaker. We will also be honoring eight Elected Women of Distinction from the tri-county area, and introducing the winners of our Girl Scout Poster and Essay Contests.
Tickets are $60 per person and may be purchased online. The proceeds will support the League of Women Voters of the Charleston Area, which educates tri-county citizens on public policy issues and encourages informed and active participation in government through voter registration and non-partisan candidate forums. Several local businesses and organizations have shown their support by sponsoring the event, and additional sponsorships are still available. We're looking forward to a once-in-a-decade celebration with our community in August!
