Ashland Business and Professional Women host inspiring history presentations
National Women's History Month took center stage at this month's meeting of Ashland Business and Professional Women. Guests included teacher Amy Nelson, four eighth grade students and two mothers.
To honor National Women's History Month, the students portrayed significant women in history. Avery Bauer and Kyla Obrien presented on Susan B. Anthony, while Victoria Deaton and Jordyn Thomas focused on Elizabeth Cady Stanton, , according to an announcement. Both pairs used technology to share facts, and Bauer dressed as Susan B. Anthony.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, born Nov. 12, 1815, was a key figure in the women's rights movement. She attended the first Women's Rights Convention in 1848 and wrote the Declaration of Sentiments. Susan B. Anthony, born in 1820, also was a prominent advocate for women's rights. She collected 400,000 signatures to abolish slavery and was later arrested for voting illegally.
During the business portion of the March 3 meeting, Kathy Norris and Beth Wood were elected to the nominating committee. They will present a slate of officers at the April meeting.
Additionally, the first of two garage sales is scheduled for June 13-14 at Karen McCready's home.
