Celebrate Women’s History Month
In 1987, Congress declared March as National Women’s History Month. The movement was born out of a small-town school event in California and has since become nationally recognized. The purpose of the month is to identify and celebrate the pivotal role women have played in American history, culture and society.
We’re lucky enough to have powerful women on our team and as our clients. Check out all of the wonderful ways we will be celebrating below.
Brunch Service – Saturday, March 7th & Sunday, March 8th; 11am-3pm
In celebration of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, head to Bluestem to toast all of the badass women in your life. A weekend long celebration, Bluestem welcome’s guests to gather for brunch (reservations accepted and encouraged!) where all proceeds from Iron Horse Vineyards’ pink sparkling wine (Wedding Cuvee) will be donated to San Francisco’s own, Dress for Success. Upon arrival, there will also be two large bins within the restaurant purposed with collecting accessories and donations for the organization throughout the weekend. Bring in your lightly loved pieces for a great cause!
Bluestem will continue to highlight powerful women throughout the month of March by featuring a collection of the restaurant’s women partners and purveyors on Bluestem’s social channels @bluestemsf.
What often isn’t acknowledged in the food industry are the countless individuals working behind the scenes who keep the ball rolling, the food coming, the beverages flowing and make your events unforgettable. At E&O, there are three women who are pivotal players in these efforts: Executive Chef and Director of Operations, Sharon Nahm, Director of Private Events & Sales, Beth Rankin, and Events and Sales Manager, Ashley Zimmerling.
E&O will donate 10% of all food sales from lunch and dinner to Dress for Success on Saturday, March 7th, 2020 in honor of Women’s History Month.
