    Women of Virginia Commemorative Commission Executive Board November 8, 2013 Minutes Members in Attendance: Secretary Lisa Hicks-Thomas Em Bowles Locker Alsop Lissy Bryan Senator Mary Margaret Whipple Jacqueline Hedblom Susan Schaar Others in attendance: Dr. Sandra Treadway Alice Lynch Mary Blanton Easterly The meeting began and greetings were extended to visitors. Secretary Hicks-Thomas then led a discussion regarding an e-mail sent to the Executive Board from Commission Member Mary Abelsmith. Regarding the concerns of the e-mail, the Executive Board resolved that they had already received a concrete timeline on the project as submitted by the artist, that the current funds raised are being held by the Capitol Foundation and that Alice Lynch will talk more about current fundraising efforts at the next meeting of the Full Commission. Members of the Executive Board then held a brief discussion about potential names for the Monument that had not previously been submitted. Susan Schaar brought up the potential to have a female athlete as a figure on the Monument. Ms. Schaar also discussed the major role women have played in the conservation of Virginia and suggested the name Elisabeth Scott Bocock. Em Bowles Alsop also suggested the Gibson girl and Mary Wells Ashworth. Alice Lynch questioned if Lottie Moon should be reconsidered. A suggestion from the audience of Pat Perkinson, the first female Secretary of the Commonwealth of Virginia, was made. An audience member also suggested Henrietta Lacks. The Board then discussed the information provided to them by Dr. Treadway on the list of names they had previously chosen.

    Vol. 22 www.lincolncottage.org Winter 2014 From the Director Dear Friends, If you had visited our offices in the past few weeks, you might wonder why everyone was sporting a perpetual grin. It was hard not to be happy. This month, we landed the cover of Washingtonian magazine with our iconic sculpture of Lincoln. The eye-catching cover showcases the life-like detail achieved by the artists at StudioEIS. It’s hard to believe the sculpture was dedicated five years ago this week, just one year after we opened to the public. So much has changed since then, and the cover was one in a recent string of events that demonstrated that all the hard work and determination of the past few years is paying off. Thank you for helping us spread the word. Did you see us on the cover of Washingtonian magazine? The life-size Washingtonian’s brief write-up took the opportunity to contrast our statue of Lincoln standing in front sculpture with one that is far more familiar to most Americans — the of the Cottage is a top pick for local Lincoln Memorial.
