Getting Ready for National Women's History Month 2009
If we don’t promote women’s history, who will? 
Here are a few suggestions for getting ready for celebrating National Women's History Month in your community:
 Ask your children’s teacher what is planned for National Women’s History Month.
Suggest that your local newspaper, radio and TV programs honor women in your community who are working to save our planet.
Order the 2009 “Women Taking the Lead to Save Our Planet” logo and include it on all your correspondence, planning, and program material.
Plan a reception, luncheon, or event to honor the women in your community who have and are taking the lead to save our planet. Make sure that environmental organizations in your community know that the theme for National Women’s History Month 2009 is “Women Taking the Lead to Save Our Planet.”
Consider using a premiere showing of A Sense of Wonder: An Evening with Rachel Carson film as a fundraiser or as the cornerstone of your March women’s history event. For more information email Caitlin at asenseofwonderfilm@gmail.com. To see a trailer from A Sense of Wonder: An Evening with Rachel Carson visit, www.asenseofwonderfilm.com .
Invite a woman from history to be at your celebration program. See the NWHP listings of Women's History Performers. There may be a performer in your community that you can plan a special program with or one of the listed State or National Performers can travel across the country to be at your event.
Invite a special speaker. See the NWHP listings of Authors and Presenters or Our Distinguished Speakers Bureau these presenters can make history come alive with their intellect and enthusiastic presentation about a specific area of women’s History.
Order a copy of the 2009 National Women’s History Month Speech from our webstore to read at your event.
