The SRRT Feminist Task Force (FTF) invites you to attend the Feminist Task Force Meetings. They are open to everyone. There are many opportunities for you including serving as an officer (coordinator, treasurer, secretary, etc.), edit the newsletter Women in Libraries as a wiki, help plan programs, share ideas about things you would like FTF to do and in other ways that you might design for yourself. We are always ready for new ideas. All FTF meetings and programs are highlighted below. You can find out what we are doing on our website, wiki and Facebook group.
The business meetings and events take place (more information below):

The restaurant is in the Gaslamp District and is several blocks from the San Diego Marriott and Marina, where the WSS General Membership Forum will be held, so we will walk as a group to the restaurant immediately following the Membership Forum, but feel free to drop by if you can’t attend the Membership Forum.
The social and venue are being shared with the GLBT Round Table. There will be a cash bar and will be platters of food. Because of this arrangement, the Round Table folks will be taking donations at the door to help defray the cost of the social, and contributions are encouraged, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. The WSS will be contributing a small amount of section funds to help with the cost of the social. Come join us and enjoy a good evening of food, drinks, and conversation!
