This past Wednesday, Sept. 10th, the children and I attended Lois Sabo-Skelton's presentation "Music as Communication: American Fiddle Music in Serbia" at the Monroe County Public Library.

The program was part of the Ivy Tech-Bloomington's Center for Lifelong Learning program, organized by Director, Susie Graham. http://cll.bloomington.ivytech.edu/

Tomorrow, I am attending the monthly Democratic Women's Caucus meeting at the Village Deli. State Senator Vi Simpson will be speaking about her experiences at the Democratic National Convention, and will also discuss the importance of our local campaigns.

Its theme:
Extraordinary Women-Extraordinary Voices

The 19th Amendment, ratified on August 18, 1920, granted American women the right to vote.

“The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.”
