International Women's day event to empower and inspire all agesA fun community event will send sparks of light into the future with embers from the past
See below! Gather your friends and colleagues and sign up by Friday. Let’s empower our youth. Opportunities like this don’t come around nearly as often as they should.
- Celebrate International Women’s Day on Thursday, March 8, and learn how one CNY area organization is empowering the next generation by shining a spotlight on a woman from Central New York who blazed a trail more than 150 years ago. (6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Lodge ... sponsored by Rotary ... social hour (cash bar), music, great company!).
- Matilda Joslyn Gage has been called “the woman who was ahead of the women who were ahead of their time.” Sally Roesch Wagner, the founder and executive director of the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation, will speak, along with two young women who are a part of the foundation's Girl Ambassador Program.
- The community-wide celebration will focus on the future by “empowering and inspiring young women to become agents of social change.” In addition to Wagner, former Auburn Mayor Melina Carnicelli, founder of First Amendment-First Vote and lead organizer of Women March in Seneca Falls, will give comments about her non-partisan program for teenage girls.
- The Skaneateles event will support leadership programs for high school girls.
It begins at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 8, at the Lodge. Music is by Loren Barrigar. Tickets are $50, part of which goes toward fundraising. We can reserve tables. Gather your friends and colleagues together.
