General membership activities will start the evening’s events. After which, Susana Raab will present her images from her project, “Consumed: The Culture and Legacy of Fast Food in the United States,” which examines the culture and the legacy of fast food production in the United States.

Raab’s project focuses on four aspects of the multi-billion-dollar fast food industry: marketing and advertising; the labor force - the largest outside of the U.S. government; obesity in the nation as a side-effect of fast food over consumption and the impact of the industry on the national landscape.

At the end of the meeting, any Eyes of History 2006 winners who have prints up at the museum will need to pick them up and take them home. If they are not picked up by that night, they will be thrown out as we have no more room in the storage facility for them.

Also, WHNPA gear including clothing and other accessories will be for sale before and after the meeting!!
