While Pink Teas were used to gather women together to strategize how best to gain the vote and right to run for elected office, our Pink Teas will feature a variety of female leaders so we learn about various issues and opportunities. Hopefully, we will be inspired and work together to realize our dreams – or perhaps your dream.

Pink Teas servaient à rassembler les femmes pour mettre au point des stratégies pour obtenir le droit de vote et se présenter aux élections. Les nôtres présenteront des femmes influentes et inspirantes qui nous parleront de questions d’actualité et des possibilités qui s’offrent à nous. Qui sait, nous pourrons peut-être réaliser leur rêve, peut-être même le vôtre.
