Other: In 2024, the WLBDA group commissioned doll artist Goldie Wilson to design 21 exclusive doll necklaces using an antique-style porcelain doll. Each necklace is a one-of-a-kind, handmade piece. The group administrator included a note with each necklace that indicates the necklaces were created by Goldie Wilson in 2024 as the 2025 WLBDA Club Doll. Six of the 21 necklaces are featured in this installation courtesy of club members Phyllis B. Burns, Julia Bush, Debbie Behan Garrett, Nini McOrmsby, Cassiopeia Onyx, and Vicky Williams.
