Pitt Alumnae Council to Hold Annual Spring Event April 14
PITTSBURGH—The Alumnae Council of the University of Pittsburgh Alumni Association (PAA) will hold "Roots and Branches: Nurturing Women at Pitt Since 1920," an annual spring event, from 6 to 8:30 p.m. April 14 in the William Pitt Union Lower Lounge, 3959 Fifth Ave., Oakland.
Carole Krick Walsh (EDU '75), cofounder of Urban Farming Initiative, will give the featured presentation on permaculture, self-sustaining productive landscapes which, once established, require minimum care.
The event will include readings by four Pitt poets from their works on themes concerning women and growth. Attendees will have the chance to meet Nancy Welfer, (LAW '49), the Alumnae Council's 2005 Distinguished Alumna, and Alicia Bergbigler, its 2004 scholarship winner.
The Alumnae Council will also publicly announce the 2005 scholarship recipient.
There will be a silent auction, 50-50 raffle, hors d'oeuvres, beverages, and desserts. Tickets are $30 for PAA members and $35 for others. All proceeds benefit the council's Endowed Scholarship and Lantern Night funds.
