This week, members were happy for: Eric Ephraim was happy to welcome Bill Wax and our speaker, Linda Hanson and her fan club. He also is loving the full house with both boys home for the summer. Len Tenner was happy to have his oldest friends, Stuart Taussig and Ron Domsky at the meeting!

The Day's Program

Linda Hanson, Ed.D., happens to be Brad Swanson's mother. Linda was an art teacher and then later superintendent at Mundelein HS. She also was Superintendent for D113. Her book, "Woman Up! Finding Equality" was published in September. This book began as her "pandemic project". She shared stories of women through time and how men of science continued to proclaim women weren't smart enough because their heads (and therefore their brains) were smaller, or the hysterics of women was a deterrent for women wanting to be taken seriously to overcome. There is also the statistics that even now, women are paid less than men for the same jobs. After sharing points in the book, we discussed the path to equality. Linda feels that will happen only through legislation and the power of the vote. Her book is available on Amazon.

Those of you not able to make it, we missed you!
