Bake Sale and Elections a Success!  
Thank you to everyone who helped with the Bake Sale and Executive Board elections last week. Once again we beat our goal of $100 for the bake sale, bringing in exactly  $120.00, even with a competing bake sale at the table right next to us!  YEAH!!!  (Just goes to show that we had better treats!)  The proceeds of the bake sale will go towards our Summer Fellowship Fund. 

In addition, 30 members voted in the Executive Board elections.  The races were all VERY close, but no ties, so a run-off election will not be necessary.  Winners will be announced at the Spring Reception on Tuesday, April 27th at 5:30pm (the reception runs 4-7pm). 

Esther Rothstein Award Winner to be Annouced at Spring Reception 
WIL is very pleased to announce the creation of an annual honorary award named after the late Esther Rothstein.  The award will recognize a current Chicago-Kent student who has demonstrated initiative and dedication to women's issues.  The annual award will be presented at the end of each academic year and will consist of an honorary plaque and $250.00.   
This year's winner will be announced at the Spring Reception on April 27th.  Mr. Alan Zenoff, a 1977 alumnus of Chicago-Kent and one of Esther's beloved relatives, will be in attendance to pay tribute to Esther at the reception before the winner is announced.    For more information about Esther Rothstein, click here.
