          SUMMARY  :  Proclaims the month of March 2006 as Women's History  
          Month.  Declares that the Legislature joins the California  
          Commission on the Status of Women and the National Women's  
          History Project in honoring the contributions of women.   
          Specifically,  this resolution  makes the following legislative  
          findings:  

          1)The observance of Women's History Week was initiated by the  
            Sonoma County Commission on the Status of Women in 1977, a  
            celebration that evolved into Women's History Month,  
            commemorated throughout the nation by schools, historians, and  
            community groups. 

          2)The story of the women's rights movement deserves telling  
            because of the significance and scope of women's role in  
            making history and shaping the cultural and societal makeup of  
            California and the United States (U.S.).

          3)The celebration of Women's History Month will provide an  
            opportunity for schools and communities to focus attention on  
            the historical role and accomplishments of the women of  
            California and the U.S.

          4)The national Women's History Project has adopted, "Women:   
            Builders of Communities and  Dreams" as the 2006 theme, to  
            honor the spirit of possibility and hope set in motion by  
            generations of women creating communities, encouraging dreams  
            and restoring hope in the face of impossible odds.  
           
          FISCAL EFFECT  :  None
