SUMMARY:When Vancouver Missed the Boat: Those who kept Vancouver from Growing
DESCRIPTION:The Chapter DJ PEO and the Clark County Historical Museum are partnering on Monday\, March 4\, 2024 to host a presentation by Vancouver’s Historian\, Pat Jollota\, titled “When Vancouver Missed the Boat: Those who kept Vancouver from Growing.” The event is both a presentation and a fundraiser for the Chapter DJ PEO scholarship program. All proceeds will go to the Women’s Educational Scholarships Program. The event will occur in person at the Clark County Historical Museum (1511 Main Street\, Vancouver\, WA 98660). Doors open at 5:15 p.m. and the presentation begins at 6:00 p.m. \nClick this link to purchase tickets – An Evening with Pat \nRenown local historian\, Pat Jollota\, will guide the audience through the trials and tribulations surrounding the development of Vancouver. From the early endeavors to bring a railway to the burgeoning town to the numerous battles over bridging the Columbia River. Jollota’s encyclopedia knowledge of our area’s history and expert and often humorous oration style will make for an evening not to be missed. \nWhen one thinks of history in Clark County the first person who comes to mind is Pat Jollota. Pat has devoted decades of her life to gathering\, saving\, and sharing the stories of Vancouver\, Washington\, and Clark County. \nPat arrived in Vancouver in 1982. In that same year\, she started her 18-year career at the Clark County Historical Museum. In her roles as curator at the Museum\, Pat would spend innumerable hours reading through the Columbian newspaper\, hearing the stories of guests to the research library\, and telling newly uncovered stories of Clark County. She started writing down the history of Clark County in the pages of the Clark County historical Museum’s annual\, Clark County History. However\, her first book Naming Clark County was an immediate hit. To this day\, Naming Clark County is one of the most popular local books available. \nSince then\, Pat’s authorship of local history has been prolific\, writing Darkness Next Door\, Downtown Vancouver\, Camas\, Legendary Locals of Vancouver\, Vanishing Vancouver\, The Murder of Joanne Dewey in Vancouver\, Washington\, and Haunted Vancouver Washington. Pat Jollota’s story is one of a historian who has made history while saving and sharing it. \nThis event is sponsored by the Clark County Historic Museum. Tickets are $15 and are limited. Cookie and coffee with be served. All proceeds from ticket sales\, donations made at the event\, and sales of Darkness Next Door and Naming Clark County will go to the Women’s Educational Scholarship of PEO. \nCan’t make the talk\, but still want to support? You can donate in support of the scholarship fund at www.cchmuseum.org/give_peo/ \nFor more information\, contact Carol Jean McClelland\, Events Director\, chapterdjpeo@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:And It Has Pockets! The Battle for Women's Clothing Equality
DESCRIPTION:How many times have you heard someone wearing women’s clothing exclaim\, “And it has pockets!” Comparisons have shown that modern garments designed for women have about half the storage space of clothing designed for men. From their invention\, pockets in women’s fashion have represented independence—so much so that in the 18th century\, laws were enacted to strip women of their personal liberty by making the contents of their pockets the property of their husband. The right to have pockets went hand-in-hand with the right to vote. And people today are still speaking out about the inequality between men’s and women’s clothing based on this simple storage system. \nJoin costume designer Diane Johnston to dig into the pockets of the past\, tracing the history of the humble pocket to determine if the battle for equality may still be decided by a few inches of extremely influential fabric. \nDiane Johnston (she/her) is a theatrical costume designer who has spent the past 33 years creating costumes for productions large and small throughout the region. She holds a Master of Fine Arts in Costume Design and is a member of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. Johnston has always been fascinated with fashion history and the historic trends that find their way into our modern closets. She is currently the Theater Teacher at Snohomish High School. \nThe CCHM Speaker Series season is sponsored by the Clark County Historic Preservation Commission. This month’s presentation is co-hosted with Fourth Plain Forward and brought to you by Humanities Washington and the League of Women Voters of Clark County. Admission is free and open to all. \nFor more information\, contact the museum at 360-993-5679 or outreach@cchmuseum.org.

SUMMARY:Movie Screening "Buffalo Soldiers: Fighting on Two Fronts"
DESCRIPTION:Clark County Historical Museum will host a screening of “Buffalo Soldiers: Fighting on Two Fronts” by local documentarian\, Dru Holley. \nEstablished by Congress\, the 14th Amendment promised citizenship in exchange for enlistment\, prompting many African American men.
