MT. VERNON — Since 1928, National Business Women’s Week has honored the contributions of working women and employers who support working women and their families. This year’s National Business Women’s Week is this week, and the local Business Women’s Foundation is planning to celebrate area working women.

Marilyn Konold is the President of the local chapter of the Business Women’s Club. She says they are always looking to bring working women of the community together.

The club will be holding many events during National Business Women’s Week, which is from October 20th through the 25th.
