  • A Feminist Perspective on New Orleans Jazzwomen
    A FEMINIST PERSPECTIVE ON NEW ORLEANS JAZZWOMEN Sherrie Tucker Principal Investigator Submitted by Center for Research University of Kansas 2385 Irving Hill Road Lawrence, KS 66045-7563 September 30, 2004 In Partial Fulfillment of #P5705010381 Submitted to New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park National Park Service 419 Rue Decatur New Orleans, LA 70130 This is a study of women in New Orleans jazz, contracted by the National Park Service, completed between 2001 and 2004. Women have participated in numerous ways, and in a variety of complex cultural contexts, throughout the history of jazz in New Orleans. While we do see traces of women’s participation in extant New Orleans jazz histories, we seldom see women presented as central to jazz culture. Therefore, they tend to appear to occupy minor or supporting roles, if they appear at all. This Research Study uses a feminist perspective to increase our knowledge of women and gender in New Orleans jazz history, roughly between 1880 and 1980, with an emphasis on the earlier years.

  • 2009 Annual Report Letter to Our Community
    YMCA of Central Massachusetts YMCA of Central Massachusetts 145th Report to the Community 2009 Annual Report Letter to our Community Dear friends, As we reflect on this past year we do so with pride and joy of the continued growth and development of our organization as it stretches across Central Massachusetts reaching children, youth and families alike through our many programs and services that are designed to support our community needs - Today! Each of our Branches has designed programs to strengthen their reach based on the feedback that we have received from both our members and the communities that they serve. From our Minority Achievers Program at Central, Tennis at Greendale, Aquatics at Boroughs to our Youth and Government, Family and Youth Wellness Centers, School’s Out, Camps Harrington and Blanchard and of course our Child Care Services we are able to establish great programs because of your commitment to the YMCA of Central Massachusetts. Because of you we have impact today that withstood the difficult economic climate. Because of you we continue to build strong children, families and communities. With our strategic plan Vision 2012 as our roadmap, we will continue to move our organization forward. We promise to support our families that are struggling by providing quality and accessible child care, help kids make good choices with leadership development activities, providing youth wellness opportunities and offering academic enrichment activities after school. We will focus on responding to the growing health crisis by reaching out to the “health seeker” - all while supporting our members in reaching their individual goals in spirit, mind and body.
