Julia Jennings, Feminist: One Woman’s Pursuit of the Vote
Peggy Jennings, AAUW Carlisle member
In celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, our very own AAUW Carlisle member, Peggy Jennings, will be giving a presentation on her great aunt, Julia 
Jennings, a prominent suffragist. Julia served as the Virginia legislative chair for the National Women’s Party. Her advocacy for women’s suffrage included participating in the now-famous demonstrations at the White House gates, and frequent lobbying efforts with state and national legislators. Peggy has some wonderful artifacts from her aunt’s suffrage activities that she will be sharing with us. Recording

Caught in the Crossfire: Judging in a Time of Political Turmoil
Today we are facing profound challenges to our democratic institutions. Increased polarization within the legislative and executive branches of go
vernment at both state and federal levels has hampered our ability to address present threats to the health of our citizens and to the economic well-being of our nation. But how have these challenges affected the work of the third branch of government, the courts? Three Central Pennsylvania trial court judges and the law school dean will discuss the various roles judges play in our legal system and how they carry out their responsibilities in today’s politically-charged environment.
AAUW-Carlisle and the Women’s Law Caucus of the Penn State Dickinson School of Law will present a webinar on Zoom exploring this question. We are honored to have three local trial court judges and the dean of the Penn State Dickinson School of Law participate for a panel discussion.

The Honorable Jennifer P. Wilson, Judge, District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania

OCTOBER Series — Take The Fear Out Of Your Financial Journey
The October series discussed financial concerns unique to women. Conducting four one hour meetings over Zoom provided an opportunity to cover a wide range of topics. The discussion was led by four AAUW Carlisle members. Primary content was the responsibility of Beth McKinley, Financial Associate, Thrivent and Mary Brunski, Retirement Income Certified Profession©, Demeter Financial Services. They were joined by AAUW Carlisle Program VP, Stacey Gatch and, in week three by Joan Rockwell.
October 6: Financial Conversations for Women
Financial Conversations for Women is a guided discussion that examines why women’s financial issues are often different than men’s. The topics are designed to help participants determine whether their retirement strategy is on track. By engaging with other women, participants will gain insights, ideas and strategies.
October 13: Heart to Heart Conversations Part 1
Financial conversations with parents or your children don’t have to be hard. Many of us were raised not to discuss money, so where do you start? How do you know if your parents are prepared for long term issues and how do you let your children or family know about your plans? A lot of our members are in that “sandwich generation”, so join us to learn how to have the conversations that can make life easier when plans need to be put into place.
