LWVNC Annual Meeting

Join fellow league members at our Annual Meeting on Tuesday, May 25, at the Country Club of New Canaan.  The business meeting begins at 10:00 a.m.  Luncheon will be served at 12 noon.  Our program begins at 1:00 p.m.  Regina Barreca will be our speaker this year. Look for your Call to Annual Meeting with RSVP details to arrive in your mailbox next week.

With wit and insight, Regina Barreca will entertain and provoke thought as our Annual Meeting guest speaker. Her topic, “Causing Trouble and Laughing Out Loud: The Need for Women in Politics,” reflects her background as an author, humorist and professor whose work is “dedicated to women, laughter and the comic muse."

Other area Leagues have hosted her numerous times because her appearances are so engaging; we’re thrilled it’s finally our turn to hear her!

The author of 14 books, which have been translated into eight languages, Dr. Barreca will sign copies of her latest book It’s not that I’m Bitter… or How I learned to Stop Worrying about Visible Panty Lines and Conquered the World “In essays that mull everything from the horror of chin hairs to why the "glass ceiling" is better described as a thick layer of men, Barreca tells women to stop believing the lies and conquer the world---and she does it with a sharp wit, good shoes and remarkably little eye cream,” the author’s website says.

A UConn professor, Dr. Barreca contributes to the Chronicle of Higher Education, writes a weekly blog for Psychology Today and is a columnist for the Hartford Courant.
