Our college campuses in Greensboro house thousands of voters, and Catherine Magid’s goal was to leave no student unregistered. Here are Barabara Cater and Catherine registering voters at UNCG.

October Notes 2016

Sue Mengert and Jane Terwillegar attended the WAGE Future Leaders Networking Conference and Luncheon, Oct. 7, 2016 at High Point University, which was sponsored by the Women and Gender Equity Leadership Project at HPU, led by Branch member Dr. Jenn Brandt.

Peggy Woods, Cherrie Wheaton, and Mary Fran Schickedantz

Although we were small in number, we were a mighty crew. Thanks to Carmen Redding, Everlena Diggs, Peggy Knox, Mary Fran Schickedantz, Anne Fragola, Sue Mengert and Cherrie Wheaton for using their pens. Sixty hand written letters were sent to women in small cities in NC, where the voter turn out is below the average for the state. The letters were nonpartisan urging women to vote in the November election because it is so important that women make their voices heard at the ballot box. It wasn’t all serious work – we had a lot of laughs and good food too!
