It's hard to believe that just a mere 90 years ago women could not vote. That's right, what you and I take for granted women fought, protested and were arrested for. There will be two celebrations of this notable milestone on Thursday, August 26th: the first at City Hall put on by the Women's Organizations of Greater Pasadena from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. and second held at the Altadena Library put on by Fifty-Fifty Leadership and IMPACT Personal Safety.

Suzan-Lori Parks Pulitzer Prize Winning Play
Topdog/Underdog
centers on two African-American brothers named Lincoln and Booth (their
dad’s idea of a joke). Abandoned by their parents to fend for
themselves while still juveniles at the respective ages of 16 and 11,
the brothers are now in their thirties. They live marginal lives
sharing a rented room in a low-rent district. Their relationships with
women have been spotty at best.
Benefits, fundraisers, parties, tours, special events and more.
