PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE — MARCH
HAPPY WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH
This month we celebrate the achievements of women, with the theme of “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.” The National Women’s History Alliance website says the theme “recognizes women throughout the country who understand that, for a positive future, we need to eliminate bias and discrimination entirely from our lives and institutions.” I want to thank all of you, both women and men, who are members of LWVPBC. Your efforts and work help to make the world a better place. Let’s honor our history and leaders in working to create a world where everyone is treated equally with respect, understanding and equity.
I had the pleasure of judging the National History Day competition at Park Vista High School. National History Day is a nonprofit organization that supports improving “the teaching and learning of history.” Students are challenged to research a topic and produce a project that exemplifies their subject. The theme this year was “Turning Points in History.” I was asked to judge the senior level documentary for both individuals and groups. I do need to thank Christene Campbell-Gabor for getting me involved with this group. It gives me great hope for the future watching these students explain, present and answer questions about their projects. Topics ranged from “Brown vs the Board of Education Foundation of Fair Education” to “White Collar Drug Use.” History and Civics education is alive and well in our schools.
Our Annual Meeting is April 17. I invite you to attend. It will be held at the Airport Hilton. Please register for the meeting. You are invited to stay for lunch as we get together to mix and mingle; however, lunch is not required. If you cannot attend, please complete the proxy — CLICK THIS LINK TO GET IT — and return it to Diane Marks by email at SecretarySecretary@LWVPBC.org or by mail at 8124 Cormyour Way, Boynton Beach, FL 33472.
Finally, as we are now in election mode we need all hands on deck. We need volunteers as well as financial support. We have a lot of exciting events in the planning stages and will let you know when and where we will be holding these activities. LWVPBC will publish the Voters Guide again, which requires both volunteer and financial resources. Thank you, Joyce Sullivan, for leading this charge. You can donate online on our website so we are able to move forward.
Again, thank you all for your continued support.
Kathi Gundlach, President
