Friday night Gainesville Area NOW celebrated our 25th anniversary as a chapter. We put a ton of time and effort in the planning of the event, and I'm thrilled at how well it turned out. A lot of people came, the speakers were fabulous (you can always count on Jenny Brown to motivate you to continue the fight), and dinner was quite good by banquet standards. We had a silent auction to help raise money for our chapter. It was also the night we unveiled our chapter's next major campaign: Encouraging our city commission to take a stand against restrictions on abortion and birth control. During his campaign, Republican Governor Charlie Crist said he would sign an anti-abortion law if it were to come across his desk. We are planning to take out a signature advertisement in the Sun before the primary elections in January reminding him that the women of Florida want no restrictions on abortion and better access to birth control. I am so proud to be involved with such smart and talented women.
