Women’s History Project Update: Help needed!

As already announced, we have engaged the explorer, Ann Bancroft to be the speaker for the all school assembly at AHS in February. (The school chose the date.) Her fee is $2500 and so far we have received donations from Austin Human Rights Commission, Early Morning Kiwanis and Rotary for a total of $1400. Any contribution you can make to this effort will be much appreciated, no matter how small. And if you have ideas of other groups who could be approached, please let us know.

Sue Grove and Carolyn Bogott had a very supportive meeting with the past and present AHS Honors History teachers. The new teacher, Dennis Schwab, is enthusiastic about working with his students on their women’s history projects. He will let us know the date of the judging so that some of you can see the projects and help with the evaluations. The projects will be on display in an open place so other students can see them as well. The two parts of this project reach all students at AHS, a rare opportunity, so please help if you can.
