The Lake County Women's Coalition annual Women's History Month luncheon was on Saturday. Each LCWC member organization nominates an honoree who exemplifies the year's theme.
I'm on the LCWC steering committee as the rep for the Zion Woman's Club but I am also a member of AAUW. AAUW's honoree was Nan Buckart (bio on left) who was director of education for the Lake County Forest Preserves. ZWC's honoree was Wendy Driver (bio on right) whose many interests in community activism include gardening (seed-saving, monarchs, zinnias, and more).
Top: the ZWC contingent.
Kim Sigafuss gave an informative and entertaining presention about Native American women in Illinois. She is Ojibwe and is a musician and writer.
I donated Black Diamond Strings to the silent auction. It raised a respectable $350! (LCWC funds go to scholarships for women at the College of Lake County.)
I bought a lot of raffle tickets but I didn't win anything this time.
Sunday afternoon with P.E.O. sisters. Sharon showed us how to decorate cookies with royal icing.

The "binding resolution" was to finish all the placemats-in-progress -- 26.

SO much binding for those mug mats and place mats! Bittersweet photo and memory of Stephens a year ago.
ReplyDeleteWonderful week you had! Sweet Stevens 💗💗
ReplyDeleteThe Trip Around the World mug rugs are so cute!
ReplyDeleteEven though your hikes were always solo, you came back to that smiling face waiting for you every time. This year is a new chapter.
Lovely picture of the parking lot Guardian, thank you. The cookies look terrific.

You have such a generous heart for donating Black Diamond String. Sorry you didn't win anything. That's quite a binding marathon. The Guardian still does his rounds; we just don't see him but he's there. ;^)
ReplyDeleteLOSING STREAK NANN??? HOW REVOLTING!! LOL
ReplyDeleteMy goodness you have been busy! And ah, memories...the parking lots may still be guarded, you know!
ReplyDeleteNann, I declare you the “queen” of binding things. You are now an expert at binding, with all of the placemats and mug rugs. They are so pretty. Good work!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very busy, but fun week. That's a lot of binding!
ReplyDeleteYou've been on a roll with binding this week! So nice to see the lovely photo of Stevens and I'm sure he's still guarding you wherever you go.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see a photo of Stevens!
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy with all that binding, which is not my favorite thing to do! Love the placemats and mug rugs though. Nice pic of your hubby. Hope you are doing as well as you can. Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings. Have a great weekend and upcoming week!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for your hurt. It will evolve, but not disappear. You were blessed. Keep that. You are still you, an interested woman. Hug, E.
