March 10, 2012 Saturday 9 a.m.	Brunch with Mother Jones Well behaved women never make history! At our annual Famous Person Fundraiser, we thought it would be fun to bring back to life one of the original female hell-raisers, as she self-described. After losing her husband and four very young children to an epidemic in Tennessee, Mother Jones became a fiery orator and fearless organizer for children's rights, social justice, and fair treatment of mine workers. Learn more about this woman once called The Most Dangerous Woman in America. Mother Jones re-enactor, Claire Nolan teaches English as a second language at SUNY and is a pro-fessional story teller. She has acted with The Schenectady Theater for Children in the past and pres-ently sits on its board of directors. She has also worked with Albany Civic Theater. This is our League's only fundraiser each year. Funds raised are used to support our community out-reach efforts. Gideon Putnam Hotel
