• <br /> 096 <br /> i PROGRAM SUMMARY <br /> L� <br /> cows: <br /> Costs for the WHM celebration were minimal . The luncheon at one <br /> school was donated, as were the refreshments at the second. The <br /> permanent gifts were limited to $15 or under, so a maximum spent <br /> would have been $75. 00. No money was spent on publicity, since it <br /> was all public service. The films used in the special program <br /> during the monthly meeting were available free of charge. Since the <br /> schools handled their own in-house publicity, no duplicating or <br /> printing charges for flyers were incurred. Some Commission members <br /> may have made long distance phone calls to the other end of the <br /> county, for which they may claim reimbursement, but none did. The <br /> primary cost to the County was in staff time in meetings with the <br /> WHM Committee - approximately twelve hours of actual meetings, <br /> three of phone calls confirming or following up those meetings. As <br /> noted above, the Commission is funded 100 percent by the County <br /> (and is considered a department. ) <br /> RESULTS: <br /> The Commission expects more intangible than tangible results from a <br /> program such as Women' s History Month. After all, who can measure <br /> the influence such a program has on a young mind? What we could <br /> count was that about 100 students attended the panels, and the <br /> feedback was so positive, we plan to repeat the activity in 1988, <br /> including expanding the program to the middle and elementary <br /> schools. There, local storytellers will dress up or act out stories <br /> about historical women. <br /> • <br /> 4 <br /> ss�r� <br />
