In January the Westminster Gilbert Commission established a
multi-media scholarship contest for the City of Westminster’s celebration of
the Year of the Woman in honor of the 100th anniversary of the passage of the
19th Amendment.
The 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to
vote, was ratified on August 18, 1920 after a long struggle known as the
women's suffrage movement.
On May
3rd, our Time Flies discussion centered on the Westminster Year of
the Woman Commission spearheaded by Westminster Councilwoman Ann Gilbert and
the leadership of the Westminster Family Center and the Recreation and Parks
Department of the City of Westminster.
It was in late February – early March that the commission
initially announced a multi-media scholarship contest for the City of
Westminster’s celebration of the Year of the Woman. Soon after that the
scholarship contest, much of our daily lives were overtaken by the Coronavirus
Pandemic of 2020.
Although the commission has received some essays, it was
recently decided to extend the submission deadline until June 1st.
According to the contest guidelines, the commission would like for applicants
to prepare a multi-media presentation or an essay of 500 words or less, about a
woman that has had a positive impact. Subject matters could include but are not
limited to historical or public figures or a woman you know personally. The
contest is open to college students or Carroll County school children, whether
they are in public or private schools or being home-schooled
Submissions are due by the end of the business day on June 1st,
2020.
Please email your submission to WESTMINSTERREC@WESTGOV.COM.
The subject line must read: YOW SCHOLARSHIP CONTEST.
Please include your name and contact information in the body
of the email. The prize to be awarded is $500.00.
The commission was quick to add that this is donated money and
not taxpayer money.

Just a few months ago, in January, Westminster Councilwoman Ann
Thomas Gilbert gathered many leaders from throughout the county to a meeting to
brainstorm how to celebrate the Year of the Woman in Westminster and the many
milestones in our local community such as the first women jurors in May 1957.
In Westminster, Gilbert assembled local leaders that
included Abby Gruber, Kristen McMasters, Sandra L. Anderson, Stephanie McCown,
Jessica Taylor, Heather Mullendore, Melissa Thompson, Kati Townsend, Tasha
Cramer, Christina Kuntz, and Val Giovagnoni. For a while, Kevin Dayhoff was the
token male in the group. Later I was joined by Steven Jakobovic, the new
director of the Historical Society of Carroll County.
