First Thursday Luncheons
Public is invited
June 3, 2010
Kelly Cannon-Miller, Executive Director for the Des Chutes Historical Museum, will speak at a luncheon, which is open to the public, highlighting what we can learn about the history of Deschutes County through photographs from the Museum’s collection, as evidenced by a photograph of a group of women suffragette’s posing on the porch of Drake Lodge. She will dig a little deeper into our shared history especially since this is the 90th Anniversary of the formation of the League of Women Voters which evolved from the suffragette movement.
Kelly has lived in Bend for 11 years, is a graduate of Portland State University with a graduate degree in Public History, and has worked for the Oregon Historical Society, the National Park Service, and the High Desert Museum prior to joining the Deschutes County Historical Society. She is married and the mother of two girls, Chloe and Emily.
“The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.”
