Christina Savage Lytle, don't worry: I wouldn't dream of forgetting Alexandria--I'm a two-year Alexandria resident and native Annandalian.:) Today, I thought of Clara Barton's house at Glen Echo, Alexandria Town Hall (seeing as how one of our alumnae was the mayor), the women's museum at Arlington Cemetery, Trinity Washington University, the Red Cross, the Temperance Memorial, and if memory serves, I believe there is a statue/memorial to Eleanor Roosevelt somewhere. The National Museum of American History always yields some good material, too. I'm working with Stephany Evans to try to work some of these locations into her/our public awareness efforts. She had the idea that we should print out a picture of the SBC women being sworn into the WACs during WWII and then hold it/get pictures of alumnae with it in front of the WWII Memorial on the Mall.

Laura Dietrich.... Also we could reach out to the Torpedo Factory in Old Town. Given the strong SBC arts programs/VCcA, they may allow for signs posters and/or even a few of us in the lobby speaking with visitors.

Because now my mind is whirling.... with Lincoln Brower's influential work with the monarch's we should also think about Natural History team and reaching out to the Monarch community! Most are non-profits, but their public support would be huge and reach new groups of people. I can put together that list.

Don't forget historic Alexandria va. Maybe some of the historic churches? Charlotte Bonini could be helpful.

Laura Dietrich, ironically, this just popped up in my news feed and follows up to Christina Savage Lytle's suggestion. http://wamu.org/programs/metro_connection/15/03/27/dc_museum_remembers_the_women_who_fought_for_equality_a_century_ago?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=FBWAMU5112

Clara Barton Office for Missing Soldiers on 7 th Street NW.

based on our historical records, her schooling was continued after Lynchburg years at Georgetown Visitation Convent in Washington, D.C., and following that, she continued her studies at St. Mary's Hall, also called Bishop Doane's School, in Burlington, New Jersey. She sought further studies in language and music in Philadelphia.At the age of sixteen, in 1844, Indiana, her oldest brother Sidney, and her sister Elizabeth spent two years abroad travelling extensively throughout Europe and the Holy Lands. This grand tour was designed by their father to polish these three of his children who measured up, into well-rounded, cultured, and knowledgeable citizens of the world.After her return from Europe, Indiana and her sister both spent much time at Sweet Briar with their father, but an equal amount of time in Lynchburg at their city home.
