During the month of March, we give a little extra attention to all of the amazing accomplishments of strong, determined women. Since 1987, the United States has formally recognized March as National Women’s History Month. Every woman has a story to tell and gifts to share with the world. So get ready, because this month is about honoring magnificent ladies, and we are ready to celebrate it to the fullest. Celebrating this women’s month by supporting women chase her dreams and fulfilling her educational needs by finding her right scholarships from around the world.
Women’s History Month celebrates the often-overlooked contributions of women in history, society, and culture. It has been annually observed in the United States and other countries, including the United Kingdom and Australia, every March since 1987. The month is observed in October in Canada. March is selected as the month for observing Women’s History Month to correspond with International Women’s Day on March 8, and Canada observes it in October in correspondence with Persons Day on October 18.
The month-long commemoration started with Women’s History Day in 1978, organized by the school district of Sonoma, California. Hundreds of students participated in the essay competitions, many presentations were given, and a parade was held in Santa Rosa. The idea
caught on and, a few years later, school districts, communities, and organizations all over the country were celebrating the day. In 1980, the National Women’s History Alliance championed for the holiday to be observed as a national week, and this was backed by President Jimmy Carter, who issued the first proclamation declaring the week of March 8 as National Women’s History Week. The following year, Congress forwarded a resolution establishing a national observance. Six years later, the expansion of the event to the whole month of March was successfully petitioned by the National Women’s History Project.
Think of a woman you look up to and admire. She can be someone in your personal life or a public figure. Write her a letter describing the impact she has had on your life. Your thoughtful gesture is sure to be appreciated.
Have a girl's lunch
Lunch, breakfast, or dinner — it doesn’t matter. Grab your granny, cousin Cheryl, or great-aunt Mimi and grab a bite to eat. Having the chance to spend some one-on-one time with the lovely ladies in your life is a great way to reconnect and remind them how much they mean to you. Who knows, they may even tell some interesting stories you’ve never heard before.
There are some excellent museums dedicated entirely to the accomplishments of women. If you don’t happen to live near one of these places, many venues set up special exhibits during National Women’s History Month.

Many of our A | P Family members spend a great deal of time working with computers as their primary source of getting work done. Whether it’s filing reports or using accounting software, we spend a lot of time on our PC’s. This can be bad for our health, especially for our hands.
Studies show that typing for 20 hours a week can over time lead to carpal tunnel, a very painful condition caused by a nerve being compressed in the wrist. Given that we work 40 hours on average, it’s important to look after the long-term health of your hands. Here are some practices you can easily implement to take care of yourself.
• Reduce your force: try not to type too hard or fast for long periods of time. All that tension in your hands adds up.
• Take regular breaks from typing: take time a few times a day to spend a minute or two stretching your hands and wrists. Staying loose helps!
• Watch your form: Avoid bending your wrist at steep angles. Too far up or down reduces circulation which goes hand in hand with carpal tunnel.
• Check your posture: if you are sitting in a position that rolls your shoulders forward, you are compressing your neck and shoulder muscles which pinch nerves that lead to your wrists. Try to straighten up.
•Keep your hands warm: If your hands are cold, your muscles contract, making them more prone to strain. Try rubbing your hands together to warm them up.
Take care of your hands, you’ve only got two!
