Kim Abbott speaks to the gathering

Special recognition pin for Linda K.

The May UMW meeting took place this morning with twenty-eight present for refreshments, program, and a brief meeting. Sue Pearson and Julie Weindel were hostesses this month. 

We recognized the passing of two our members since our March meeting, Sheila Hammitt and Fran Jackson. A memorial gift will be sent in their names to the District.

This month's program was shared by Kim Abbott, Co-director of  the Montana Human Rights Network. Kim shared the variety of programs and initiatives the organization is involved with to include paid family leave, pay equity, gender justice, and Medicare expansion. A gift of $100 was sent to support the work of this organization.
