Each year they host the  Annual Women of the Year Luncheon honoring women in the communitiy who volunteer their time, talents and treasures for the benefit of their nominating organizations and the community. Our own Gail Smith was an honoree in 2009.  Jan Bullard is a nominee for next year’s award. This year’s 29th anniversary celebration and awards ceremony took place at the Marriot Harbor Beach Hotel and Resort in Fort Lauderdale.
