"This annual event ... is a perfect opportunity to highlight all the wonderful ways the women of Yolo County have contributed to and shaped our county. Without them, where would we be?" Mike McGowan Great event! Everyone had a great time at my table, and I saw more than a few misty eyes during the performances.

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is Women’s History Month? Women's contributions to our world, our nation, our state and our local community are celebrated during Women's History Month. In every sphere of life, women play crucial economic, cultural and social roles. By joining together, we recognize the contributions of women throughout Yolo County and rededicate ourselves to creating the best possible future for all people. Why have a luncheon? Former Yolo County Supervisor Helen Thomson organized the very first Yolo County Women’s History Month Luncheon in April 1987 at the Carousel Restaurant in Woodland. The luncheon theme was “Generations of Courage, Compassion and Conviction.” About 40 people attended, including then-Davis Board of Education Trustee Janice Bridge and then-Yolo County Supervisor Betsy Marchand. It was decided at that luncheon that the experience should be repeated in March 1988, and the tradition has continued every year since. The luncheon has grown considerably over the years, with between 250 and 300 people expected to attend this year’s 33rd anniversary luncheon on March 12, 2020. The luncheon theme is 'Valiant Women of the Vote.' Women and men from throughout Yolo County and the surrounding communities will come together to show their support. The success of the luncheon has exceeded expectations, and planning this annual event provides an incredible sense of pride and joy to the Yolo County Women’s History Month Committee. We look forward to seeing you at this year’s luncheon! Who benefits from donations to Yolo County’s WHM? How can I make luncheon reservations?
