Want to Create Your Own Meetup for this Event?

This event is a listing — the concert, festival or activity itself. A meetup is your own smaller plan to go to it with other people: your date, your time, your meeting place. “A few of us are going, come with us.”

You don’t need permission and you don’t take anything over — this event isn’t changed at all. The venue, address and details are copied across, so you only pick when and where to meet.

As its organizer you get real tools to plan the when, where & what:

  • 📅 Member Availability — see which days and times everyone says they're usually free, so you know when to hold it.
  • 🎯 Member Interests & Cities — see everyone's interests and locations, so you know where to meet and what to include.
  • 🗺 Member Map — visually shows where most members are concentrated.
  • 🏷️ Activities & Voting — lists the tags and lets members vote on what they want to do.
  • 💬 Event Chat — everyone can discuss plans, who's bringing what, and last-minute changes.
  • RSVPs — who's coming, how likely, guest counts, and what they're looking forward to.
  • 🔗 Many Ways to Share or Invite — get the word out and grow attendance.

Your meetup starts hidden and set to “Only My Contacts”, with no date, so nothing is announced until you're ready. Nobody is notified when you create it. Once you set a date and switch Go Live? to Yes, it appears for people who marked themselves interested in this event.

ℹ️ About This Event

During WWI, Copper Country mothers were critical to the war effort in the U.P. homefront. First and foremost, mothers of soldiers were celebrated for their patriotism. Join Patty Sotirin as she shares stories of mothers and their soldier sons from letters, poems, and news articles. Copper Country mothers responded to government calls for rationing and support with resourcefulness.  Learn about some of the ways they cut back and gave back. The mothers whose sons died in service were designated as Gold Star Mothers and we know that some were offered a trip to Europe to visit the graves of their sons. Altogether, the stories of WWI Copper Country mothers are surprisingly complex and fascinating. These stories complement Keweenaw National Park's interactive exhibit on local families during WWI and the WWI poster exhibit at the Carnegie Museum. 

Patty Sotirin is a Professor Emerita and Research Professor at Michigan Technological University. Her areas of scholarship include relational communication, kinship, and qualitative research methods. She lived in Chassell for thirty years and returns to the Keweenaw several times a year to visit friends and enjoy the beauty of the Copper Country.
