Then I culled some professional clothing from my closet to donate via L for the Women's Resource Center event. (How many navy blue polka-dot things and black slacks does one person need?!) I would have loved to go, but couldn't because I had to prep for the International Women's Day tea event at MacCurdy House (the feminist house on campus I advise).
I headed over with finger food, fruit and cookies, and a vase of flowers (from my birthday haul, still going strong). The housies had put out decorations and teacups and were amazing hosts. We had lots of folks show up, so it's good that I over prepped as usual and many mugs of red velvet chai and peppermint tea were quaffed.
Pic: Raising a cheer for women at MacCurdy. This picture makes me smile back--I love these smart, compassionate, engaged people who showed up for a semi-work event on a Saturday evening.
And here are some previous iterations: 2024, 2023, 2022, 2020, 2019. (Also, I just went down a rabbit-hole searching "MacCurdy" and finding all the dear faces of people who have graduated and are doing amazing things in the world.)

What a lovely day!! And how cool to see where all the amazing women you’ve met through this organization are now!
I will admit that the day went by a bit unrecognized in our house. :/ Will tested + for strep so now I am feeling very confident about getting his tonsils out next month.
Happy Women's Day.
This sounds amazing (and what is this about red velvet chai? Yum!)
I love the photo- we need more smart, compassionate people right now!
A perfect way to mark IWD, as usual I am in awe of you!
Sorry, it has been a checklist of one virus after another for the past couple of weeks, Lisa... You all need a break from this!
Sending speedy healing wishes!

Jenny--it almost tastes like chocolate! (It was recommended to me when I was trying to give up chocolate.) It's from The Republic of Tea: https://www.republicoftea.com/red-velvet-chocolate-herbal-tea-bags/p/v02157/
Nicole, I think the way you read women's stories from all around the world is another terrific way to mark IWD... More my pace, actually!
What a fun event!
Steph :)!
