Can you believe we are already in the month of March?
It’s Women’s History Month and we honor all the great women who have paved the way for other great women to follow. This month we also celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, also known as the feast day of the patron saint of Ireland on March 17; and lastly, who wants more daylight? I know I do, so don’t forget to set your clocks an hour ahead on Sunday, March 12th @ 2:00am, it’s time to “spring forward.”
