DENMON « « Staff Writer ‘““All Women Work” was the theme of the Fourth Annual Luz- erne County Woman’s Conference held Saturday, June 4, at Penn State Wilkes-Barre Campus and Barbara Ehrenreich, principal speaker at the conference, empha- sized that fact in her address to the more than 400 women in attend- ance. Ehrenreich told the audience that every woman works whether at home, as a career person or as a Ly volunteer in the community. She stressed that women should be able to assume the role of leadership and to become actively involved whether politically or in other roles in the community. The author of several books and articles in magazines, Ehrenreich has a Ph.D. in biology and a baccalaureate degree from Rocke- feller University. She is also a fellow at the Institute for Policies in Washington, D.C. and the New York Institute for Humanities at New York University. Evelyn Albert, coordinator of the conference, can be proud of the success of the conference which ., Was described by many of the @® women who attended as best ever. py Ages of those attending this '“. year’s conference varied from teen- agers to the older woman, who is entering the work force for the first time. With 48 workshops from which to choose, plus several for the teenag- ers, everyone found at least two or three they elected to attend. Well attended was the workshop ‘‘Where Do I Go From Here?’ in which Ann Calkins, married for 25 years and mother of six children, told how she felt when her marriage ended in divorce and spoke infor- mally on what she did to combat the void left in her life. A workshop on sexual abuse, “It Happens Everyday’ drew the inter- est of many of the women attend- ing the conference as they did the workshop for the older women, “The Golden Years Silver Lining”’, conducted by Mary Ann Daley, who is coordinator of the Catholic Social Services project for helping elderly adults. A “Play in the Afternoon’, writ- ten by Donna Burns Rader and performed by Kathleen Godwin and Sharon Wood, a dancer with the Wilkes-Barre Ballet, brought a standing ovation. Long lines waited to partake of the delicious lunch served 11:10 a.m. to noon and 12:10 p.m. to 1 p.m. Despite the fact that many of the women had difficulty selecting workshops because of the wide variety, they all went away pleased with what they had learned, most of them vowing to return next year. Evelyn Albert can sit back and enjoy the satisfaction derived from knowing the conference was a great success.
