Is the word "volunteer' too passive or non-political for you? Think of the hundreds of women who volunteered years to assist Judy Chicago in the creation of The Dinner Party. This work is considered by some to be too political, and it is hardly passive if you are familiar with the women it represents both in its art form and those who created it. Come be a part of our history and join the hundreds of volunteers working to "keep us in history". If we do not want to see this work go "right out of history'' we need to join in and volunteer to do the work necessary for its presentation. We need over 100 volunteers weekly through July to be able to present to the public a small fraction of women's history.

We need your help to remain in history. Please call 371-2222, 371-1128, or 371-5866 and volunteer your help and your time. It is both political and non-passive!
