March is Women's History Month!
Women's History Month

Come celebrate with us in Lincoln City!

 

As recently as the 1970's women's history was virtually non-existent in our k-12 curriculum. Since then, town-by -town, a light has shown on the strength, ingenuity, fortitude, intelligence and bravery of U.S. women and how profoundly they have profoundly impacted and continue to impact the growth and prosperity of this great nation.

 

Visit our website at www.oregoncoast.org/Women's History Month for a schedule of events!
