Description
Photograph shows a group of women sitting at a table socializing at a y-Walk party. Several of them are wearing y-Walk stickers and two of them are waving at the camera. They are probably at D.B. Cooper's and there are drinking glasses on the table and 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.
