The Annual Meeting on June 2nd was our first post-COVID, in-person meeting! It was a perfect opportunity to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Northampton Area LWV, all together, once again! Meeting highlights included a presentation by Regis Chandler, the lead teacher at JFK Middle School, who used the “She Shapes History” museum exhibit to develop student discovery projects on the history of the suffrage movement and the ongoing struggle for voting rights.
On display was an exhibit of historical posters created by Sharon Farmer, Zjemi Moulton, Nancy Polan, and Nancy Brady.
An entertaining trio – Brigid Glackin, Margie Riddle, and Nancy Brady – presented a lively, musical tribute to Lou Bouley, in appreciation of her decades of leadership on the Northampton LWV Board. Thank you, Lou, for always having an answer and a smile. You are the “glue” that holds the League together!
