CELEBRATING WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH 2022


The first celebrated Women's History Week was in March of 1978 by educators in California to increase awareness of the Powerful Contributions Women have given to our Society. Now we dedicate the month of March to them every year.

To honor the special Women in one's life, International Women's Day was established on March 08, 1911, and is celebrated worldwide on March 8th each year.

The 2022 Women's History Months Theme is "Provide Healing and Promote Hope". This is a tribute and recognition to the thousands of ways Women of this World provide Healing and Hope throughout their lives. This is also dedicated to the tireless work of our Frontline Women Workers and Women Caregivers during this ongoing Global Crisis and Pandemic.

This month of March is the time to Honor and Learn about some Notable Women's Figures that have made a huge difference and influence on mankind.

FIVE (5) BEAUTIFUL STORIES

Here are Five (5) Beautiful Stories that should make us all think and perhaps help us adjust our priorities!   1 - First Important Lesson - All are Significant.  During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one: “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50's, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade.   "Absolutely, " said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people.  All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say "hello." I've never forgotten that lesson. I also later learned her name was Dorothy. 2. ...
