The annual Montgomery College Women's Studies Program Scholarship Breakfast is on Wednesday, Mar. 9 (8-9:30am), which showcases the achievements of Women's Studies students and faculty. In fact, this year, I am one of the faculty being honored -- I will be one of three faculty members receiving the On Her Shoulders We Stand Award. This award is given to those who have contributed significantly to the Women's Studies Program, and I am tremendously pleased to be receiving this recognition. It is truly an honor to receive an award for doing work that is so meaningful to me and that I love so well. I am fortunate to have such wonderful colleagues and fabulous students, as well as an incredibly supportive partner, who doesn't complain about my long hours at work and shows up every year for our V-Day production. Thanks, Q!
The event is also a fundraiser for the Women's Studies Scholarship fund, and I am coordinating the silent auction part of the breakfast. Thanks to our generous donors, we have a wonderful array of items for the auction, and all proceeds from the auction go toward student scholarships. The auction has a diverse range of items, including jewelry, ceramics, textiles, vintage items, stained glass, watercolors, housewares, and accessories. If you see something you want, I am happy to arrange a proxy bid for you. Just email me by Tuesday, Mar. 8 at 5pm to let me know what item you wish to bid on and how high you are willing to bid. Click on the individual pictures to see more details about each item, including the estimated value and the minimum bid.
My contributions to the silent auction included some of my own textile creations.
Set of four burp cloths (green and blue bubbles)
Set of four burp cloths (red stripe and bookbinder red)
Set of four autumn leaves placemats with matching tangerine linen napkins
Let's hope for enthusiastic bidding so that we can fund even more scholarships for next year!
