2ND NOTICE for WILPF St Louis Office closing

The last page in our 100 year WILPF St Louis Chapter --
At our Spring quarterly meeting, with heavy hearts, we decided that we no longer had the capacity to continue as a branch of WILPF. We gave notice at our May 2022 Membership meeting of the dire financial situation of the group and also the lack of able bodies to fill board positions. The situation has not changed. It is bittersweet to have a final look at our office in the WCC. It will be vacant by the end of March. We will continue to have a PO Box there until the end of the year.

On Saturday, March 4, there will be hot tea and the leisure of several hours to peruse the metal file holders and racks of things and books. You may find these things stir memories of causes, events and influence campaigns. You remember all the effort, time and progress made through the years and friends made in the process. You may find in the office a memento to take.

We need to get rid of a lot of plastic plates, dinner ware and napkins!

Join us on this last page of the last chapter of our WILPF StLouis branch on Saturday March 4th from noon to 2:00 at the office in the World Community Center.

We will continue to have the website through November 2023. Come and reminisce!
