Description
Negative shows a group of women participating in the 1986 y-Walk. They are walking down a sidewalk in what appears to be a downtown area. There is a piece of a brick building visible on the left side of the photograph and on the street is a semi-truck with dry wall on its bed and a few parked vehicles. Some of the women are wearing tee shirts that read: "Walk for women. YWCA 1986" and some are carrying balloons. Joleen Callahan may be in the middle of the second row of women. On envelope: "1986 Y-Walk." "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. "Volunteer Joleen Callahan's hiking group, formed at Cambrian in the mid- 1970s, was still tramping the trails in 2005, the last vestige of adult programming at YWCA-West Valley, as the Cambrian Certer would be renamed. Callahan herself still served on the YW board of directors."
