Caring for Community: The Women’s Giving Circle
The Friends of Susan B. Anthony is happy to announce that they will celebrate Women’s Equality Day (Aug. 26) with their annual luncheon on Saturday, Aug. 23 at the Best Western Grand at 11:30am. The community is invited to this event, which began as an informal birthday party for Susan B. Anthony over forty years ago, and is now held in conjunction with the anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote.
Each year a local woman is recognized who exemplifies the spirit of Susan B. Anthony. This year, Evelyn Foxx will be honored for her tireless and long activism on behalf of civil rights and her leadership of the local chapter of the NAACP.
The featured speaker will be Dr. Jeanna Mastrodicasa, Director of the Office of Institutional Assessment at the University of Florida. Dr. Mastrodicasa will be speaking on the ways in which the Women’s Giving Circle of the Community Foundation of North Central Florida has had a profound and positive impact on many non-profit organizations supporting women and girls for the last 20 years.
For further information, and instructions on how to register for the luncheon, please check: www.fosba.com or contact Barbara Oberlander at 352-378-6447.
