March is National Women’s History Month
This month, let us celebrate women in Rotary. In 1987, the United States Supreme Court ruled that women could be members of Rotary International. The very first club President was Sylvia Whitlock of the Rotary Club of Duarte, California. The first woman Rotary International President was Jennifer Jones for 2022-2023. Stephanie Urchick will be our 2nd woman Rotary International President for 2024-25. Today, 40.3% of the members of District 5340 are female. Next Rotary year, 2024-25, Dianne Crawford will be our District Governor. Our District and Rotary International are much better organizations with woman as members and as leaders. Let’s celebrate women in Rotary and all of us Create Hope in the World.
