*A Call To Honor*
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
Replica
|
|
It is an honor for us to represent both the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the amazing Guards, past and present, who have and are guarding the Tomb and the crypts of the unknowns.
We also consider it a privilege for four of us to be Associate Members of the SHGTUS, as well as we share this beautiful and powerful exhibit, as we travel this country to encourage communities to join in in honoring the TUS Centennial next year.
If any of the former guards will be close to the exhibit, it would be our honor to have you there to talk to our visitors about your experience as a Tomb Guard. If you can attend any of our appearances, please notify me at (706)766-8451 or at my email. I hope some of you can join us.
We Never Forget,
Bill King, Maj., USAF(ret.), Project Manager

LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS
SPONSORS
WOMEN’S SUFFRAGE EXHIBIT
|
|
The League of Women Voters of Rome-Floyd County in partnership with Rome Area History Museum will be hosting the Susan B. Anthony Birthplace Museum's Traveling Wall, Winning the Vote, and Vintage Suffrage Postcard Exhibit from Monday February 17 to Friday, February 28. The Museum's traveling wall replicates historical photos and information on display in the Susan B. Anthony Birthplace Museum in Adams, Massachusetts. The display is part of a year-long celebration by the League of Women Voters commemorating the Centennial of the founding of the League and the ratification of the 19th Amendment.
While the exhibit is available for viewing during regular business hours, the League will hold an opening reception on February 17. Opening words are at 5:00 p.m. with refreshments served until 7:00 p.m. All are invited.
The women’s suffrage movement was a decades-long fight to win the right to vote for women in the United States. It took activists and reformers nearly 100 years to win that right, and the campaign was not easy. Disagreements over strategy threatened to cripple the movement more than once. But on August 26th, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was finally ratified, giving women the right to vote.
Growing from the deep roots of the suffrage movement in the 19th century, Georgia's non-partisan League of Women Voters uses a statewide network of local chapters to encourage informed and active participation in government, register and empower voters, work to increase understanding of public policy issues, cultivate women leaders, and influence public policy through education and advocacy.
For more information about the exhibit, please contact Rebecca S Moye, 706-346-1334, romeleaguewv@gmail.com

The Museum holds events throughout the year. Susan B. Anthony Birthplace Museum, 67 East Road, PO Box 244, Adams, MA 01220, www.susanbanthonybirthplace museum.org

Members are encouraged to bring prospective member guests to all regular meetings. The club is most happy to pay for the meals of prospects the first three times they visit, more then that you are required to pay for your guest's meal unless they have submitted an application for membership, in which case the meals will remain at no charge. If you bring a non-prospect guest, someone to just join you for lunch, or if you take out a lunch for anyone that is not a member, you are required to pay for your guest's or takeout meal. The cost of the meal is $10 per meal and must be paid to the Treasurer or other officer at the time of the meeting. Money can also be placed in the Dues Box in the lobby.
