Ruby Duncan is a name synonymous with courage, determination, and relentless advocacy for the welfare of mothers and their children. Her pioneering efforts in 1971, following drastic welfare cuts in Nevada, led to a movement that not only challenged but also brought significant changes to the state's approach to welfare rights. Duncan's organization of notable marches on the Las Vegas Strip, drawing support from celebrities and activists alike, showcased the power of unity and the strength of a community fighting for justice.

The event promises an evening brimming with delicious Food, endless Fun, and meaningful Fellowship. It's more than a gathering; it's an opportunity to honor a woman whose actions continue to inspire change and advocacy. From the pivotal marches that brought the plight of welfare mothers to the national stage to her role as a Democratic Delegate at the 1980 Democratic National Convention, Ruby Duncan's legacy is one of profound impact and enduring significance.

Join us in celebrating this incredible journey and the woman behind it all. Let's come together to reflect on the victories, the struggles, and the unyielding spirit of Ruby Duncan and the many lives she has touched.

We look forward to seeing you there for an evening of commemoration and community.
