2nd Year of Greater LaCrosse NOW

Good morning,

After meeting with our wonderful cohorts WSSA (Women Studies Student Association) we have come up with a plan. Our NOW chapter will host 2 discussion groups each month, one in Sparta and one in LaCrosse. We will have a short business meeting before the discussion group. Each discussion group will have a few topics primarily focusing on why the fight for equality (race, sex, age, etc) is still needed. We are hoping to host the Intergenerational Gathering again as well as a few film showings.

WSSA is holding a book club and have welcomed us to join them. They meet every Thursday at 6pm in the Diversity Center on UW-L campus. *they provide the books. They're discussion is also available online. The books they are reading are; Manifesta; Grassroots: a field guide for feminist activism; Unbearable Weight; American's Womens; School Girls; The Feminine Mystique; Slut; and Full Frontal Feminism.

The meeting dates are as followed, the first Saturday of the every month starting November 6th (with the exception of January due to New Years) in Sparta, WI at Ginny's Cupboard (127 N Water St Sparta, WI 54656) at 1:00-2:30. LaCrosse's meeting is the third Saturday of the month starting November 20th. the location is yet to be announced between 1:00-2:30.

Please feel free to pass on this information to those you think would be interested. If you have any questions feel free to contact me at kayfc.now@gmail.com.

Have a great day!
Chloe
