These meetups will be a little different - there may or may not be a meetup host at these events, so this is more a way to let people in this group know these history talks are taking place. You may or may not see anyone else from the meetup group there if you choose to go.
Jefferson National Parks Association features Cheryl Eichar Jett as the June speaker:
"We’ve all heard of Route 66, but did you ever stop to think of all the women who worked along the 2,448-mile length of the most famous highway in the world? They pumped gas, ran for office, painted murals, joined the military, reported news, and designed buildings, theme parks, rockets, and toys. Just in time for this year’s 100th anniversary of the iconic Mother Road, author Cheryl Eichar Jett will examine the myriad roles women played along Route 66.
Cheryl is an award-winning author and playwright specializing in this unique niche of women’s history. Her new book just debuted this spring." from https://www.jnpa.com/751/speakers.htm
