Dear Feminist Friends,
 We thank all who have supported us over the years. Because of you VFA continues to honor veteran feminists and protect the legacy of the feminist movement. Please continue to help keep VFA alive by paying your 2011 dues.
We're sending this notice to all on our list. If you're a veteran feminist and not a member, we invite you to join VFA. We've changed our By Laws to allow any feminist to join --- though only those who have served for 20 years may be on the board
Everyone is suffering from this long recession, but we must keep VFA functioning to continue our work. So, if you can afford it, please send not only your dues, but a bit extra to help those who cannot . We feel that every feminist activist has already dues .. so we never take anyone off our list! |

We've had another successful year. In March Bonnie Wheeler organized a major event in at the Women's Museum in Dallas. Over 500 attended. Gloria Steinem, the key noter, gave another inspiring talk and later, helped place medals around the 100 pioneer feminists who were honored.
In August VFA was honored by the National Women's Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls . Christina Moulton, the Hall's Executive Director, presented us with a beautiful award at the evening gala. See story www.vfa.us.
Our work goes on constantly... Jan Cleary, our web manager, keeps updating our wonderful web page. She and new board member, Jeanne McGill have designed T shirts, cups and other memorabilia with feminist photos and set up shops on the internet. You can reach these shops for holiday gifts at the VFA GIFT SHOPPE and EQUALITY, I AM WOMAN STORE.
VFA performs many services for its members, such as promoting members' books and projects, putting people in touch with others who can help them, and providing useful information on feminist events.
Board members of VFA are signing this letter together because we're all committed our mission to tell the world what feminism has accomplished - and why the ideals of feminism are needed today more than ever;
Thanks again and again for all you did and are doing for feminism. And especially for sending your 2011 dues which allows us to continue our unique work. As you know, YOUR PAYMENT IS TAX-DEDUCTIBLE.
In Grateful and Loving Sisterhood, |
