Rosie Wins Spirit Award

Post #34 – Rosie’s Daughters: The “First Woman To” Generation Tells Its Story by Matilda Butler and Kendra Bonnett

About a month ago, we received an order for our Rosie the Riveter Legacy Bandanas from the Business and Professional Women of Nevada County. We quickly put them in the mail and then sent an email asking what they were going to do with all the bandanas. It turns out that they were participating as a team in an American Cancer Society relay race.

But I’ll let Karin Kleinhans tell you what they did and the honor they won:

These are the photos from the Business and Professional Women of Nevada County as we participated in the 2012 Relay for Life event for the American Cancer Society. Our theme was “ We can do it for the Cure.” I am happy to tell you that our team won the “ Spirit Award”! The Rosie bandanas stand out, and we could spot each other really easily!

Kendra and I think there’s nothing better than posting pictures of women showing their spirit and living empowered lives.

Congratulations Karin. Please pass on our congrats to your entire team. We think you all look terrific.

Rosie would be proud.
