Women’s history
Cape May County Freeholder E.
Marie Hayes and the Cape May County Culture & Heritage Commission
are promoting the exhibit “Corresponding Women: First Letter Stringing
Bee and Pot Luck” to celebrate Women’s History Month.
It features the paintings,
drawings and correspondence of Cheryl Crews, of Villas, Lower Township,
and Barbara Maxwell, of Sweetwater in Mullica Township. They began
writing to each other in October 2011, and have exchanged more than
3,000 illustrated letters, according to the county. The exhibit will
include historic letters written by women.
A reception will be 1 to 4 p.m.
March 8 at the Thomas Beesley House, 605 Route 9 N., Cape May Court
House. The public is invited to help string the letters with red ribbon
for the exhibit, which will help the artists create an exhibit for
Atlantic Cape Community College in the fall.
