Responsible Department: City Council
Commentary:
The attached Resolve has been requested by Council Chair Blanchette. On February
25th, there will be a ceremony honoring various women athletes and recognizing Women
in Athletics Day at the Bangor Athletic Club.
Certainly, one of the major changes in sports has been the emergence of women's
athletics, Locally, this has been seen at the elementary, high school, and college level. It
seems appropriate for the Council to recognize this change and the women, both current
and past, who have been responsible for it.
