DeLauro To Appear At Russell Library For Pay Equity Day

The greater Middletown American Association of University Women is presenting a public education program celebrating Equal Pay Day tomorrow, Monday, April 11th, at 6:30 in the Russell Library Hubbard Room.

Speakers will include Teresa Younger, Executive Director of the Connecticut Permanent Commission on the Status of Women, and Rosa DeLauro, who represents most of Middletown in the U.S. Congress.

Equal Pay Day symbolizes how far into 2011 women must work to earn what men earned in 2010. A Tuesday is selected because it represents how far into the next week women have to work until they earn as much as men did in the previous week. This year the date is April 12th.
