Judy Woodruff to speak at the Susan B. Anthony House Annual Birthday Luncheon
Rochester, NY—Judy Woodruff, award-winning journalist, prime-time anchor, former White House correspondent and one of the world’s most prominent female journalists, will be the keynote speaker for the Susan B. Anthony Annual Birthday Luncheon on Tuesday, February 13, 2007 at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center. The event—the House’s major fundraiser—celebrates Susan B. Anthony’s life, work, and legacy, and is held each year near her February 15 birthday. Presenting sponsor this year is Van Bortel Ford—Van Bortel Subaru.
Woodruff brings decades of broadcast experience and coverage of eight presidential elections to the table. Beginning as White House correspondent for NBC and eventually becoming senior correspondent, anchor and the host of CNN’s Inside Politics—television’s first program devoted exclusively to that subject—Woodruff has covered a changing world for two generations, from the Carter administration to the George W. Bush administration. Most recently she has pioneered a project with PBS to conduct a series of national reports on views of young Americans.
Tables for ten and patron tickets are available by calling 585-235-6124, ext. 15. Individual tickets are available at all Wegmans stores.
The Susan B. Anthony House shares the story of Susan B. Anthony’s lifelong struggle to gain voting rights for women and equal rights for all. We keep her vision and struggle alive by owning and protecting Anthony’s National Historic Landmark home; collecting artifacts and research materials directly related to her life and work; and making these resources available to the public through tours, publications, educational and interpretive programs, and the Internet. The Susan B. Anthony House is supported primarily through the contributions of its members. The Susan B. Anthony House is not affiliated with other organizations bearing her name.
