Full forecast on A5 Five local members of the American Rosie the Riveter Association (ARRA) were honored over the weekend in Seattle by the Washington Wom- en in Trades Association, giving thanks to women who joined the workforce during World War II. Cottage Grove “Rosie” Doris Graham was hum- bled by the honors. “It’s great because we — Dolly Marshall, 89 never thought about that when we were doing this,” she said of her wartime work. “All we were hoping was to get through the day.” Rosie the Riveter became COMMUNITY an American cultural icon of World War II, represent- ing women in the work- force who contributed to production for the war effort. With more than 16 million Americans serv- ing, many women took on trades that had previously been dominated by men. It’s estimated around five to six million women entered the workforce be- tween 1940 and 1945. ARRA was founded in 1998 when Dr. Frances Carter, a riveter for B-29 bombers during the war, was inspired to honor the legacies of women who contributed to the war ef- fort. As the Rosie the Riv- eter icon had come to apply generically to all working women during World War II, Carter invited any wom- en who did what was tradi- tionally considered men’s work to join the associa- tion, which now has more than 6,000 members across the U.S. The McKenzie Chap- ter of the ARRA current- ly counts five members. Though three chapters once existed in Oregon, McKenzie is the last one standing. The group meets at 12:30 p.m. the second Friday of every month at the See ROSIES 10A Friendly spooks Community laces up skates at Armory. A3 SPORTS — B CG freshman surprises at Districts.
