Subject: RECREATION RUNDOWN - March Newsletter: Women's History Month


Hi First_Name,
Did you know that March is Women's History Month? This month was designated in 1987 and is dedicated to the amazing contributions made by women. While it's important to celebrate women's history during the other 11 months of the year, March is a good time to reflect on the sacrifices that women have made to help make the world a more inclusive place.

At CSUMB Recreation, we're honored to have such a diverse group of student leaders. We would love for you to help us continue diversifying our department by joining us in the activities we have planned this month!
