On Monday, October 13 CWA will present Mary and Mike Hutchins portraying Georgiana Pittock and her Chauffeur. This is the second part of the program on this fascinating and important woman in Portland’s early history. It will focus on her later years and the building of the Pittock Mansion. This building is still treasured in the Portland area for its beauty and also for its history and connection to Mr. & Mrs. Pittock. Georgiana Pittock founded the Rose Society which was the start of the Rose Festival and Portland’s identification as the Rose City. But there is much more to her as she was a woman of privilege who worked tirelessly for the benefit of the women and children of Oregon. Even if you know about her life and accomplishments we hope that you will attend. We do our forebearers honor by retelling their stories and reminding ourselves of the history and contributions of those who went before us and paved the way for our generation and those to come. You will enjoy the fellowship of the other CWA members, and are sure to learn at least one thing that you didn’t know before about this lovely landmark and the Lady of the House.
Since we will be immersing ourselves in the early 20th Century, we will have a tea themed luncheon with sandwiches and other teatime treats. No worries though — coffee will be served as well as wine. It’s Party Time will cater this month. The cost will be $32 for members and $37 for non-members. If you attended September’s luinceon as a guest, you must pay dues before signing up for this event.
Please remember that the deadline for sign-up for the luncheons is now on the Tuesday before the event. So this month’s deadline is Tuesday, October 7 at noon.
