International Women's Day was March 8, and our club celebrated by recognizing all the women members of our club at the meeting last Wednesday.
There are thirty nine women in the Kerrville Noon Rotary Club, but it hasn't always been this way. It wasn't until 1989 when R.I. voted to admit women as members, after a supreme court ruling. Worldwide, women make up about 23% of membership.
The Rotary Club of Kerrville has a number of women who have served as club presidents, including Marianne Wofford, Sandy Merritt, Diane Green, Sue Whinnery, Kim Clarkson, Stephanie Miller, Kristy Vandenberg, Robin Miears, Tammy Prout and Marta Diffen. Next year Kristi Shepherd will be the club president. In addition, Carol Holmes & Kristy Vandenberg previously served as District Governor.
