Just last week Congress, the Senate and President Obama voted to support the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. Which is a step up for women everywhere. (Please see the extensive story in the GFWC Clubwoman Magazine).

Last September over 200 GFWC women from all over the US went to the Capital in DC and asked our Senators to support this Proposed Act. I was there with five other NH clubwomen who serve on the GFWC Board. We were in DC for a Board meeting and also had a planned day on the hill. It feels good at this moment that we may have helped the Act pass with the many GFWC women who stormed the Capital to the Senate buildings.

Yeah!
