It will also formally declare the month of March as Women's <br /> Second District History Month in the City of South Bend. This recognition is long overdue. <br /> Valerie Schey <br /> Third District The first women to be elected to the City Council was a Republican,Janet Stewart <br /> Allen. She was elected as a Council Member at Large in 1962 and served on the <br /> Fred Ferlic City Council from 1963-1971. She was truly a pioneer who forged a new path for <br /> Fourth District future women to follow. She earned a reputation for meticulously doing her <br /> homework, for her high standards of professionalism, and for her keen insights on <br /> David Varner many municipal issues when the population of South Bend had peaked at <br /> Fifth District 132,445. Not only was Council Member Allen a dedicated public servant but a <br /> Oliver J. Davis talented and gifted artist, with a piece of her artwork adorning the entryway to the <br /> Sixth District Office of the City Clerk. <br /> Derek D. Dieter The City of South Bend is indeed fortunate that nine (9) women to date have <br /> At Large followed in the footsteps of Council Member Allen. We are pausing this month <br /> to honor them and thank them for their service.
