The Women's Studies Interest Group is having a program at the American Antiquarian Society Library in Worcester on Friday, October 15th from 10:00 AM to 12:00. We will gather at 10:00 for refreshments at the Goddard-Daniels House at 190 Salisbury Street, directly across the street from Antiquarian Hall. The program will begin at 10:30 at the Library, at 185 Salisbury Street. We expect that it will conclude no later than 12:30.

I have listed several Worcester restaurants for those who want to have lunch in Worcester.
