Thank You for Celebrating Women's History Month with Us!


On March 10, we continued our tradition of celebrating South Central Texas women whose courage, initiative, steadfastness, patience, heroism, and creativity are contributing to our community in ways that are too seldom recognized and appreciated.


This year we recognized women through the eyes of area high school students who participating in our League's first Celebrate Women: Student Writing Showcase.

Congratuations to the following young women who were selected from all entries through a blind juding process to share their essays and poems with us on this special day, and to receive a $300 honorarium for their effort.
