Women's History Month Contest Information

Here at the Ocean County Library, we received flyers from the Ocean County Advisory Commission on the Status of Women promoting their 2009 contest to students from grades 1 - 12 in Ocean County. The Advisory Commission is asking students to "create a stamp recognizing women's leadership in protecting the environment on a local, state, or national level.. This can include women who have shown leadership in preserving the natural environment and reversing ecological destruction such as sceintists, engineers, business leaders, writers, filmaker, conservationist, teachers, community organizers, faithbased leaders or others whose lives show exceptional leadership to save our planet." Winners receive Visa Gift Cards and will have their stamps published in the Commission's 2009 resource and awareness publications. And there is more! For more information or for a flyer with complete contest rules, please call the Women's Commission Office at 732-506-5374.
