Celebrate the Vote

On a hot summer’s night, Executive Board officers, Jessica Martinez, Hannah Whitlow, and Alexandra Duncan drove an hour south of the UNC Charlotte campus to volunteer at the MERWC’s 2017 Celebrate the Vote. Starting the night by (wo)manning the check in table, it progressed to speakers and tasteful finger food. The guest list consisted of members of MERWC members as well as local politicians - including Former Governor Pat McCrory.


The Evening Women’s Club holds this annual event, Celebrate the Vote. It is used to promote candidates and elections coming up in the near future. UNC Charlotte is located in Mecklenburg County where many city council seats are opening up as well as the office for mayor. Majority of those who were running attended the event - social and promotional reasons.

Former Governor, Pat McCrory attended the event with his most trusted right hand man. He checked in and enjoyed the company and catering. Once all gathered in the backyard and the introduction concluded, Former Governor McCrory got the crowd of political-loving donors excited for the change he believes North Carolina is making.

Jessica Martinez, UNC Charlotte’s very own president of Network of enlightened Women, was honored being mentioned. Other UNC Charlotte organization leaders were also mentioned. Party-attendees applauded and only fueled UNC Charlotte’s own fire of change.

Network of enlightened Women nationally and locally takes pride in their community outreach. The members of NeW look forward to continually get involved in the surrounding Charlotte community. With an abundance of opportunities, this is only the beginning.
