On Sunday, October 20th, the League of Women Voters of South Central Texas will kick off 'Women Making History: Her Story Is Our Story' with a special event at the historic Casino Hall in La Grange.
Each March, the League celebrates Women's History Month by recognizing special women in our South Central Texas community. In 2023, they recognized the eight women then serving as mayors of our South Central Texas towns. In 2024, they invited area high school students to submit essays recognizing women who had touched their lives. All present at the 2024 event were moved by presentations of essays and poems, the 'best of the best' from seven area students.
The League is grateful for the wonderful feedback they received from both events. Many community members have told them how important these inspiring stories of local women and their contributions are. For Women Making History 2025, the League wants to grow and celebrate this idea. They believe the most powerful way for them to recognize women whose stories need to be honored is to invite the whole community to help!
