TOWN HALL SERIES

88TH SEASON

2012 - 2013

    When the Akron Woman's City Club was founded in 1923, one of its             primary goals was to provide a forum for educating members about events taking place in the world. Some of the well-known early lecturers and guests were Grand Duchess Marie of Austria; the honorable Nellie Tayloe Ross of Wyoming, this country's first woman governor; Louise Thayden, famous woman aviatrix and winner of the First Women's Air Derby from Santa Monica, CA to Cleveland in 1929; Edgar Guest, well-known homespun poet; Alice Roosevelt Longworth; Drew Pearson; and Lowell Thomas. In addition, the Club sponsored many musical programs and seminars.

     Today Town Hall Series carries on this proud tradition for the Akron Woman's City Club. You do not need to be a member of the Club to enjoy these programs. As we embark upon our 87th season, here is your personal invitation to join us for this season's outstanding series.

     Season tickets for Club members are $40 and $45 for non-Club members. You may purchase season tickets by sending your check to the Akron Woman's City Club. 732 W. Exchange St., Akron, OH 44302, Attn:Town Hall Series. Single tickets may be purchased at the door on the day of any performance for $10 each.

     Non-members may also attend the dinners and luncheons associated with the performances. Lunch reservations must be made by calling the Club at 330-762-6261 at least by the Monday preceding the program you plan to attend. Opening Night Dinner reservations at $19 each should be pre-paid by enclosing a separate check for dinners.
