Jean Watkins is looking for volunteers who want to help build a celebration for the 100 Anniversary of Women’s Right to Vote. A kick-off meeting is scheduled for this evening at 5 p.m. The meeting will be held at Mesquite’s new Women’s History and Cultural Center located at 150 N. Yucca St. #23.
The Anniversary is in 2020 but Watkins knows that a celebration of this caliber needs good people and time to plan. If this is something you are passionate about, and you think you might want to help plan the celebration, attend the meeting this evening to learn more.
