September 14 – Peggy Creer will introduce the film "Most Dangerous Women," directed and produced by League of Women Voters member Janet Fitch, who passed away in December. This award-winning film is 33 minutes and is an inspiring, moving film about women who are deemed "dangerous" because they speak up and speak out -- and the dangerous women inside of all of us. The League has done presentations of this film at a few public events, and it is always enthusiastically received and a good spark for discussion about women's representation in the halls of power and the difference that makes for all of us. We will meet at the Urban Ecology Center in Riverside Park from 11 am to 2:00 pm.
