You are aware that this is Women in Construction Week? I thought so. Women have a long history of wielding construction tools, especially when they entered the workforce to keep the factories going during World War II. But even if you aren't interested in making a career out of this, it can be mighty handy to know how to fix your own home. Saturday March 7th, the Handy Woman Seminar will provide instruction on a few home improvement and maintenance techniques. Wander on into the Grand Meeting Wing at the Central Library from noon to 4.
