Women’s History Month
Rosie the Riveter was the star of a campaign aimed at recruiting female workers for defense industries during World War II, and she became perhaps the most iconic image of working women. American women entered the workforce in unprecedented numbers during the war, as widespread male enlistment left gaping holes in the industrial labor force. Between 1940 and 1945, the female percentage of the U.S. workforce increased from 27 percent to nearly 37 percent, and by 1945 nearly one out of every four married women worked outside the home. “Rosie the Riveter.” History.com, 21 Oct. 2021, www.history.com/topics/world-war-ii/rosie-the-riveter. Accessed 1 Mar. 2023. March is Women’s History Month. We embrace every opportunity to celebrate our history and be excited about our future. “If your actions create a legacy that inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, then, you are an excellent leader.” – Dolly Parton Learn more about Women’s History Month at womenshistorymonth.gov/

February 6th Council Meeting Agenda
February 6th Agenda
Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
We honor Dr. King for many reasons: his wisdom, his courage, his message of love, and his leadership. His leadership was proven by his ability to bring people together in times when everything was so divided. So, as a community let us reflect on his message and make sure we carry it into the future to teach our youth that we are stronger together rather than divided. In the Bible you will find a verse that reads: Matthew, 12:25: “And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.” Let us not be divided, let’s stand as one! Mayor Randall Weddle
