What are Study Groups?
Study groups provide an opportunity for members to grow intellectually and creatively, broaden their involvement in topics of interest, become agents for intelligent community action and meet people who share similar interests. Please note: anyone is always welcome to attend any of these groups – no strings attached! Drop in, & bring a friend, to experience fellowship and the pleasures of lifelong learning.

We are already looking ahead at March and plans for Women’s History Month 2024. The theme is: Women Who Advocate for DEI. We have some good ideas for activites and Annie will be heading up this work.
If you attended the September general meeting, you heard Zoe de Boer, Miss La Crosse Oktoberfest 2022 and a Miss Wisconsin contestant, speak about the changes to the Miss America organization contests to include changing the Social Impact Initiative to first 30 seconds of their private interview and introducing a fitness portion. We looking at this to see if there’s something we need to take a stance on.
A new partnership opportunity is in the works: YWCA LaX will be hosting “Empower Women Summit” next March. We’re excited to be involved with that.
Our annual International Women’s Day event planning will begin in November for the March 8th program. We’d love to have you join us in the development of that.
Other activities:
• Working with LWV to do a program on “Understanding Political Offices” for high school girls.
• Following up with Hope Restores to see what partnerships we can do together.
Exciting things going on–you can be part of it!
