The Daytona State College Center for Women and Men and its advisory board will host their annual luncheon recognizing National Women’s History Month on Thursday, March 28, from noon to 1:30 p.m. The luncheon will be held in the Hosseini Center (Bldg. 1200), on the Daytona Beach Campus, 1200 W. International Speedway Blvd.
This year’s luncheon honors a local woman who has made a difference in many lives through her work and community service over the past 20 years. Dr. Pamela Carbiener has served on the Board of Commissioners for the Halifax Health Systems, chair of Daytona State’s Center for Women and Men Advisory Board, board member for “Healthy Start” and trustee for the Bert Fish Foundation. Among her most recent accomplishments, she helped to bring the FSU College of Medicine Regional Campus to Daytona State’s main campus and mentors many of its interns. She is a strong advocate for STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) disciplines and encourages students to embrace these subjects and to not be influenced by stereotypes.
Maj. Gen. Polly Peyer (USAF, retired) will serve as keynote speaker for the event. Her contribution as a “Woman in STEM” was most recently observed in her role as commander of the Warner Robins Air Logistics Center, Air Force Material Command at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia.
National Women’s History Month, designated by Joint Resolutions of the House and Senate and proclamations by six American presidents, is an opportunity to learn about and honor women’s achievements today and throughout history.
The luncheon is open to the public. Seating is limited; reservations and payment must be made by March 15. Cost for the luncheon is $25 per person; proceeds benefit the Center for Women and Men. All payments must be received by March 15, 2013.

Lets ask retired Air Farce Major General Polly Peyer what dead people look like after a B52 strike.
Ask POLLY about how our military heroes carpet bombed Vietnam for years and left 2 million dead. Iron bombs, smart bombs,naplam , chemicals and we still LOST..because we deserved to.
Ask her how many corpses our great heroic military is responsible for. Really heroic bombing people from 30K feet or from Drones.
Now our GREAT BOMBING HEROES are in Afghanistan,Yemen,Pakistan,etc with new drone toys to bomb with. If they are terrorists then what are we but high tech terrorists
Women in History? Do American women even know their own bloody history?
The US military and its civilian contractors are stationed all over the world and dragging this country into financial ruin.
I know because I was in the military, the USA needs to withdraw its bloody fangs from the world and go home.
This nation is bankrupt both financially and morally. It is about time we get off our SUPER POWER horse and face the truth.
God Bless America? Who would Jesus Bomb?
