Description: Photograph shows a man who is dancing and two women to either side of him. They appear to be clowning around and the women are pointing at him with both hands. They are probably at D.B. Cooper's for a y-Walk party. The women are wearing y-Walk stickers on their clothes and there are y-Walk balloon bouquets behind them.
"Executive Director Faith Rein (the top job had been renamed again) and President Sarah Janigian launched two annual events that heaped public attention on the association: the Y-Walk downtown in 1984, in which volunteers enlisted sponsors to raise money for YWCA programs; and TWIN, Tribute to Women and Industry, in 1985." From Fran Smith, "Breaking Ground: The Daring Women of the YWCA in the Santa Clara Valley, 1905-2005, " (2005), p.87.
