Please join us on Saturday, March 20, 2 p.m., when we present our annual “Salute to Women’s History Month.” Trish Chambers returns with an original program on Rosie the Riveter. (The image above by Norman Rockwell was THE original poster.) Attendees will learn how middle-class women had to fight cultural blockades to get into the workforce, how various women’s volunteer and military groups fit in, the working conditions of women photojournalists such as Margaret Burke White of Middlesex, NJ, and how the seeds of the ’60s Cultural Revolution were sewn. The event will be held at the Van Wickle House, 1289 Easton Ave., Somerset. Admission is $10/person. Reservations can be made by calling 732-560-1977, or to Meadows Reserve@aol.com
