For March 2011, the theme has been Our History is Our Strength. This year local communities, organizations and institutions are honoring women within their own communities or organizations.
Sarasota, FL – March 16, 2011 ( via PressReleasenation.com ) — Our History is Our Strength pays tribute to millions of women who helped create a better world for the times in which they lived as well as for future generations. Knowing the challenges these women faced, grappled with, and over-came can be an enormous source of strength to all of us. During today’s difficult times, Our History is Our Strength can serve as an important reminder to our nation that adversity can be overcome.

The Diva Derby, one of five March events the Women’s Resource Center of Manatee County has planned this year will feature teams of women competing in their “inner diva.â€
“Many women remember the childhood days of dressing up as either a princess or a bride or both,†said Ashley Brown, executive director of the Women’s Resource Center, “We want to find some of that fun we all had and enjoy it now with this event. We certainly have a wealth of serious and sobering events around us.â€
She described the diva derby as a spring break during college, surrounded by other events that will study the “accomplishments of women and encouraging women now and for the future.â€
