SUMMARY:Reading Into History: Book Chat on Ida B. The Queen
DESCRIPTION:Ida B. Wells committed herself to the needs of those who did not have power. In the eyes of the FBI\, this made her a “dangerous negro agitator.” In the annals of history\, it makes her an icon. Ida B. the Queen tells the awe-inspiring story of an pioneering woman who was often overlooked and underestimated—a woman who refused to exit a train car meant for white passengers; a woman brought to light the horrors of lynching in America; a woman who cofounded the NAACP. Written by Wells’s great-granddaughter Michelle Duster\, this “warm remembrance of a civil rights icon” (Kirkus Reviews) is a unique visual celebration of Wells’s life\, and of the Black experience. \nJoin us for an interactive discussion on this fascinating historical figure\, led by a Lexington Historical Society Book Chat member. Reading the book is encouraged but by no means required! Refreshments will be served; doors open at 6:30. \n$10 members\, $15 nonmembers

SUMMARY:Lowell Artist Showcase: Debbie Roy
DESCRIPTION:Introducing the Lowell Artist Showcase! Once a month the library hosts a local artist to come in\, talk about & showcase their art\, and give small\, simple demonstration or project that attendees can participate in. Materials will be provided by the library. \nThis month we will be hosting Debbie Roy and her craft-foam creations. She plans to share some of her completed projects followed by a hands-on workshop demonstrating how to make simple roses using craft-foam\, scissors\, and a glue gun. \nAbout the Artist:\nHaving spent most of her life immersed in creative endeavors (of very little career\, monetary\, or historical significance)\, Debbie Roy has decided to continue this trend. She fills her days with obsessive and varied crafting\, singing\, sewing\, and building costumes for her scooter as well as writing stories\, poems\, plays\, and frivolous Facebook updates. She has seldom met a craft she didn’t like. After discovering the versatility of craft-foam sheets\, she’s used them to make everything from costumes and props to seasonal decorations. Getting older is mandatory\, growing up is optional. \nPlease register for this event on the library website. Capacity: 15 people.

SUMMARY:Building Independence (Walking Tour)
DESCRIPTION:Women have found different ways to claim independence over time\, even when it wasn’t readily given. Join a ranger for this 1-hour walking tour of downtown Lowell to learn how the buildings that created the city of Lowell also offered women a chance at independence previously unheard of. Explore some of the ways the women of Lowell were able to gain access to bank accounts\, own and manage property\, and decide how to spend their hard-earned wages. \nThe walk will cover 0.75 miles of walking and will involve up to an hour of walking and standing. This event is free and open to all. \n(Free parking at 350 Dutton Street in the Hamilton Parking Garage. Pick up a chaser ticket at the Visitor Center front desk to use when exiting the garage).

SUMMARY:Annual Lowell Women's Week Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a morning of inspiring words\, community\, and recognizing the achievements of extraordinary women in greater Lowell. Tickets required. \nKeynote Speaker: Yun-Ju Choi\, Chief Executive Officer of Coalition for a Better Acre \nYun-Ju Choi is the Chief Executive Officer of Coalition for a Better Acre (CBA)\, a membership-based community development corporation dedicated to fostering resident empowerment and facilitating sustainable community revitalization. CBA manages 529 affordable rental units\, providing housing for 1\,600 residents\, while also offering foreclosure\, financial\, and workforce development training\, and driving veteran housing initiatives. In her capacity as Chief Executive Officer\, Choi has successfully more than doubled CBA’s budget\, surpassing $2.5 million. She adeptly oversaw the construction of 131 units of affordable housing across Lowell\, Dracut\, and Haverhill. Expanding beyond CBA’s foundational focus on affordable housing\, Choi enriched the organization’s impact by expanding youth programs\, civic engagement\, health access\, workforce and economic development\, and community engagement activities. Choi emphasizes that\, for CBA\, the mission extends beyond real estate\, “It’s about uplifting people and giving them opportunities to buy homes and market rate housing.” Her vision for CBA is rooted in the belief that the organization should not only address housing needs but also empower individuals to achieve their goals and enhance their overall well-being. In addition to her role at CBA\, Choi actively contributes to several boards and commissions\, including the Whistler House Museum\, Lowell Finance & Development Corporation\, Greater Lowell Community Foundation\, and Mill City Community Investments. Choi’s exceptional leadership and contributions were recognized with the 2023 Community Advocacy Award\, acknowledging CBA’s role in creating affordable housing in Lowell\, Dracut\, and Haverhill. Notably\, in the summer of 2023\, CBA cut the ribbon on 27 affordable housing units for individuals in recovery from substance use disorder in partnership with Lowell House Inc. This development marked a significant milestone as the first Passive House certified building in the city of Lowell within CBA’s portfolio. Yun-Ju Choi came to CBA in 2014 and brings a wealth of experience to her role\, having previously worked in various capacities within Boston’s non-profit landscape\, including positions at Madison Park and Lena Park Community Development Corporations\, the Boston Foundation\, and the Boys & Girls Club of Boston. She holds a master’s in management from Cambridge College and completed her undergraduate studies at Bowdoin College in her home state of Maine. \nEmcee: Cathy Mercado\, Executive Director of Merrimack Valley Housing Partnership \nCathy Mercado is the Executive Director of Merrimack Valley Housing Partnership in Lowell\, MA. She joined MVHP in 2015. Prior to her role at MVHP\, she served as a loan originator with a national bank. After being motivated by her personal experience as a first-generation homebuyer\, she made the decision to transition her career path\, recognizing her calling to advocate for housing and homeownership opportunities. With an unwavering dedication spanning over two decades\, she has consistently advocated the cause of homeownership for low and moderate-income individuals. Now\, more than 20\,000 families have completed the home buyer training program. Beyond her role in housing advocacy\, she has also been a fierce advocate in the pursuit of racial and social justice for our BIPOC communities. As a lifelong resident of Lowell\, MA\, with familial roots tracing back to Comercio\, Puerto Rico\, her deep connection to the community fuels her commitment to positive change. In addition to her role at MVHP\, Mercado actively contributes to various boards\, exemplifying her extensive engagement in community service. She currently serves on the boards of the Center for Hope and Healing\, Inc.\, Acre Family Child Care\, Fortaleza and Abundant Housing Massachusetts\, Citizen Housing and Planning Associates\, and Lowell Development Financial Corp. Cathy Mercado\, a devoted spouse\, and mother of four children\, is deeply ingrained in the fabric of Lowell\, Massachusetts. Her multifaceted contributions underscore her pivotal role in shaping the landscape of housing\, social justice\, and community development in the area.
