The League of Women Voters of Carteret County is again collaborating with the Carteret County Historical Society to host a reception at the History Museum of Carteret County to celebrate Women’s History Month in March. The theme this year will be “Moving forward Together: Women Educating and Inspiring Generations”. This reception is open to the entire community. The goal is to continue celebrating the accomplishments of local women who have made a notable impact in our community.

The informal reception will occur between 5:30-7:30 at The History Museum of Carteret County, 1008 Arendell St. in Morehead City. We will have light fare donated by local female chefs/restaurateurs and League members, tables of information represented by local female-centered agencies and organizations, and a silent auction that benefits the League's educational activities including Vote411.org, a one-stop online website for election-related information including all of the candidate profiles for every race in Carteret County.

Gracie Bender, Director of the History Museum states: "Across the nation, local, county history museums like ours constantly endeavor to link nearby history with national events. The historical society’s partnership with the League does just that by highlighting important national milestones for women’s rights.”

This reception is a fundraiser for both the League and the History Museum; we are asking for a $10 donation which will go to support the activities of the History Museum and the League of Women Voters of Carteret County.

Come socialize with the League members and discover the history of some women key to the suffrage movement; meet women and men who shape our county and hear the stories of past Women of the Year in a casual setting. Please consider donation of a silent auction item or food for the reception. Contact Carol Geer LWVCC president at carolgeer@gmail.com with questions, sponsorship, and auction items.
