"I thoroughly enjoy the Women's History Month luncheons. I have reflected on my own parents' commitment to recognizing the importance of our history and how we must remember it as we change our course for the better. My dad marched in the women's suffrage parades, and my mom, when she was young, started a group of diverse women interested in their cultures and histories. I hope this event continues to flourish." Charlotte Dorsey "We really enjoyed the stage program when some local women dressed up as historic Yolo County women. I remember Margy Yutzy as Margaret McDowell. I think having a connection to the historic women from all parts of the county is important."

Annual CelebrationFREE EVENT Although the pandemic is still preventing us from holding our annual luncheon (hopefully we can resume in 2023), we are hosting a day of celebration honoring women who have promoted hope and healing. Our 2022 theme, Providing Healing, Promoting Hope, honors women caregivers, frontline workers and women of all cultures who have provided both healing and hope throughout history and into our future. We hope that you will join us to hear fabulous presentations and commentary by the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation; Mel Russell, historian & former Yolo County Archives Coordinator; Julia Levine, City of Davis Poet Laureate; Woodland Community College; and Dr. Aimee Sisson, Yolo County Health Officer. It is with regret that the WHM luncheon scheduled for March 2021, has been CANCELLED due to precautions concerning the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). We are hoping that we will all be able to gather in celebration in March, 2022! For more information about the Coronavirus, please visit Yolo County Health & Human Services. We apologize for any inconvenience. WHM Board of Directors Women's HistorySince 1987, the United States has formally recognized March as National Women's History Month. During the month of March, we give a little extra attention to all of the amazing accomplishments of strong, determined women. Every woman has a story to tell and gifts to share with the world. So get ready, because this month is about honoring magnificent women, both past and present, and we are ready to celebrate it to the fullest.
