Sadly, I just got news that Karen Sp?rck Jones died this morning. Although she did live long enough to learn how valued her work was, its unfortunate that she isn't with us to celebrate these accomplishments.

Please forward to as many women as you know. (apologies for the duplicate posting some of you will receive.) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ballam, Deb Ballam.1@osu.edu A few weeks ago we set up a means by which folks could register their standing locations on the website. If you haven't looked at it lately, take a look under the link See Where Others Are Standing < *www.standingwomen.org *>. We now have listings for 20 countries and 45 of the U.S. states. The list continues to grow each day and by May 13 we expect to have listings for all 50 states and many more countries. Some of the listings are for individuals but others are for groups, sometimes involving hundreds or even more than a thousand people ( e.g., the woman who sent the info for the Belgium site told me that hundreds of women will be there, and the San Francisco Bay area panhandle site is expecting thousands as is one of the sites in South Florida). We hope you will stand with us, and invite others you know around the world to stand with us. And, please do register your standing location on the website. It is very easy to do. If you prefer, you can send the standing site to me and I will register it for you. Thanks for all your help with this project. It is going to be an amazing day! Deb Deborah A. Ballam, Ph.D., J.D.
