National Women's History Month

You know, it's kind of strange how I've never said why the island named me Cassie...seems like I should have huh? Well, it's never too late, and this is just the right time to do it! Why? Simple, March is Women's History Month!  So here's how my name, Cassie Hill, was born.

The real-life, historical Cassie was born in 1884 in Roseville, California. But why pick her name, right? Well, it's not just because she was one of the very first women to become a Wells Fargo agent. In fact, Cassie held a few jobs: Wells Fargo agent, railroad agent, telegrapher and even mom — she raised 5 children while working those jobs. Whew! Talk about juggling all the responsibilities of life! Quite the resumé, right? One of Wells Fargo's operation centers is even named after her.

Anyway, this is a month to honor all the women — past and present — who've had an impact in history. Just look at some of the ones we've highlighted in the past! Oh, and we can't forget the ones that are in our lives now: mothers, daughters, sisters and friends. They're all making history today. It's an awesome thing to think about isn't it?

Do you know of someone that should be mentioned this month? Share!

And me? Well, I'm just Cassie from the block, your fellow island skipper and go-to gal! Catch ya on the island....
