Healdsburg Branch of AAUW Hosting Speaker!

From Healdsburg AAUW Forum:

The first half of the Healdsburg AAUW’s inaugural Forum ended on February 12th with Chris O’Sullivan’s spirited recounting of the Gold Rush.

Results of AAUW’s survey of participants indicate overwhelming agreement on the excellent quality of the presentations. Expect Dr. O’Sullivan to deliver the same quality in the second session of California: A History, and to continue suggesting historical spots to visit and supplemental readings, along with his distinctive, interpretative account of key events and fascinating portraits of some of the players.

Dates and topic titles are as follows:

March 5: Civil War California and the Transcontinental

March 12: Railroad Tycoons and Robber Barons

March 19: Earthquake and the Progressive Era

March 26: The Origins of a Mega-State

April 2: Depression and War

April 9: Ascendancy of a Mega-State

Attendance at the first session is in no way necessary to enjoying the upcoming one.

All presentations are on Thursday mornings, from 10-11:30 AM at the Raven Performing Arts Center in downtown Healdsburg.

Online registration ($90) is available at www.healdsburgaauw. com.
