| 398.1 | National Conference | WITNES::DOUGHERTY | DOUGHERTY | Mon Jul 20 1987 15:08 | 19 |
| There's LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of things going on all over the country.
The national convention was FANTASTIC!!!
HIGHLIGHTS: Molly Yard "& co." were elected by a 2-1 margin over
Noreen Connell "& co.".
The March for Equality was a tremendous success. Over
2,000 people marched. The speakers were DYNAMIC!!
Congresswoman Patricia Schoeder gave a TREMENDOUS speech
to the delegates on running for President of the
United States. NOW pledged to raise $350,000.00 for
her campaign immediately following her address.
Massachusetts alone, has pledged to raise at least
$12,000.00
Did anyone else go to the conference?? What were your impressions?

| Heard very complimentary remarks on a "talk show" concerning Molly's
Dynamic speech at the NOW convention. Also heard that she's 70
yrs. of age!! Is that true? - Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw
- Older people are Years Ahead! Maybe NOW things will start moving
again.

| 398.4 | I was there, too... | USMRM3::CGILLARD | | Tue Jul 28 1987 17:04 | 15 |
| RE:.1
I was a delegate at the Conference also. It felt very empowering
to be a participant - the decisions made there were taken seriously
not only by the women (and men) at the Conference, but by the
national media as well.
I learned a little, too, about the dissention within the NOW
organization from some of the delegates from several other states.
(I'm a member of the South Middlesex (MA) Chapter.)
It was a wonderful experience to have been there. (Wasn't Linda
Ellerbee GREAT??) I'd like to hear some more of your experiences
at the Conference...and share mine. Send MAIL?
