By Paula Manley
It has been 103 years since the Michigan Legislature granted women the right to vote and 101 years since the US Congress ratified the 19th Amendment. Paula Manley, a Scott Club member and longtime member of the League of Women Voters, will discuss the role Michigan women (and men) played in the long fight for women’s suffrage which did not end with the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Membership meeting will follow program.
By Julie Sheppard & SHHS History Club
Winners of state and national competitions, the South Haven High School History Club will have the Scott Club members as a live audience so they can hone their presentation skills as they prepare for this year’s competitions. Led by teacher and History Club coach, Julie Sheppard, these hard-working young people will impress us with their research, knowledge and skill.
By Joan Bonnette
Old worn-out items will be transformed with paint, polish, and imagination. Well-known local artist, Joan Bonnette shows before and after results on rummaged items. Bring an item and she’ll give ideas for your makeover project. Membership meeting will follow program.
By Maile Whipple & Cassandra Cushman
Maile Whipple and Cassandra Cushman are local macrame artists who love to create custom works to fit the needs of their clients. Just as their families had done before them, macrame has been an art form that has been passed down for centuries to create hanging art as well as functional art, like a plant hanger or key-chain. Join us as we explore the History of Macrame and learn more about the artists and their upcoming make and take classes with Evergreen Macrame.
By Don Hallock
For three years, Don Hallock taught conversational English in China as an employee of the Chinese government. Don’s experiences with Chinese expectations of American language and culture and his own expectations of Chinese culture made for a fascinating and at times hilarious mix. Did you know for instance that the Chinese don’t have an alphabet?
By Dr. Judith Hansen
What is Juneteenth – America’s newest federal holiday? Dr. Judith Hansen taught at a Historically Black College/University (HBCU) in Texas and offers some history about Juneteenth and how it fits into American culture today.
