• <br /> 044 <br /> PROGRAM SUMMARY ] <br /> ABSTRACT:(Please limit to 100 words.) <br /> Local Commissions for Women are responsible for carrying out <br /> activities to publicize and celebrateomen' ofHistory <br /> yaMonthateHM) , <br /> designated annually ( in March) by a variety and <br /> local officials. In its WHM activities, the Orange County (NC) <br /> Commission for Women (OCCW) pays special attention to bringing the <br /> message of the role women have in history to young women in the <br /> county public schools. The theme of OCCW' s celebration of WHM is <br /> that history is made just one day at a time and that local, unsung <br /> heroines are just as important as women of wider fame. <br /> PROBLEM/CONCERN: <br /> History gives us the perspective to handle today and tomorrow. <br /> Without it, we have no basis, no tradition, no experiences on which <br /> to build. The specific inclusion of women (and other minorities) in <br /> our collective history gives young women that solid basis. Older <br /> women realize that famous women made their names through hard work, <br /> luck and opportunity combined, in increments not particularly <br /> noteworthy. <br /> This day-to-day path towards history is most difficult to grasp <br /> when young, since every moment seems like forever . And, although <br /> young people have their heroines, the road between self and admired <br /> may seem impossible or unknown. The problem: how to celebrate <br /> Women' s History Month and be certain the young women of Orange <br /> County are included in the celebration in a way that lets them know <br /> that they, too, are making history, one day at a time? <br /> SOLUTION: <br /> s <br /> An ad hoc WHM Committee of the Commission was formed. Then members <br /> came from both the northern and southern p s <br /> natural geographic and residential division 'requires attention to <br /> geographic representation on the Commission and its committees) . <br /> All had children or relatives in one of the county' s pubic <br /> or had attended a school themselves. They contacted teachers, <br /> guidance counselors and/or principals they knew in the two senior <br /> high schools and asked them Commission a panel <br /> of local heroines to th <br /> positively. <br /> /71 <br />
