Dear Midwest WILPF Sisters,

We have something special to share with you!

This March, WILPF US and the newly relaunched flagship Chicago WILPF Branch are inviting you to a heartfelt gathering where you can connect in person with our new WILPF US Executive Director, Linda Low, during her visit to Chicago for a conference. 

It’s the perfect way to kick off WILPF’s 110^th Anniversary!

Save the Date:

Sunday, March 23, Noon CT

The Chicago Women’s History Center, Fine Arts Building

410 S. Michigan Ave, Chicago IL

(Nearby convenient parking at the S. Millennium Park Garage,

6 S. Columbus Drive, Chicago)

What’s On The Table: 

We'll enjoy a delicious Middle Eastern brunch together, followed by a stroll to the historic Hull House Museum, just a mile away. It’s the perfect opportunity to share stories, laughter, and dreams for the future of WILPF. In this moment of so much uncertainty, it will be good to gather in person. So much work lies ahead!

Linda is eager to meet you, hear your thoughts, and discuss her vision for WILPF, including the exciting new Re-Envisioning Project.

This is a unique chance to explore how we can build and strengthen our membership, build branches and amplify our impact.

We hope you’ll join us!

Please RSVP by Wednesday, March 19th, letting us know your name, and how many other branch members will attend, with their names.
