The Muncy Historical Society’s Sunday, November 16, 6:00 p.m. event will begin with the Vintage Gatherers Quilters presenting comforting quilts to U.S. military veterans. The Society partners with the Vintage Gatherers Quilters, who, together, have become a group under the auspices of the Quilts of Valor Foundation®. The Quilt of Valor effort involves local quilters who provide quilts to honor veterans and service members who have been touched by war with comforting and healing quilts. The presentation and program will be held in the Muncy Baptist Church, 11 West Penn Street, Muncy, PA.
Immediately following the veteran presentations, Pat Jordan will perform her dramatic portrayal of Carrie Chapman Catt, an American women’s suffrage leader who campaigned for the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which gave U.S women the right to vote in 1920. Jordan’s Catt presentation is an entertaining and highly researched one-woman play about the woman who led an army of voteless women in 1919 to pressure Congress to pass the constitutional amendment giving them the right to vote and convinced state legislatures to ratify it in 1920.
