This year is different. Like everyone else, the YWCA board has been closely monitoring the growing impact and increased uncertainty around COVID-19 coronavirus. After careful consideration and much discussion, and as our contribution to “flattening the curve," YWCA of Alton has decided to postpone our 30th Annual Women of Distinction awards dinner.
The YWCA will gather on Thursday, May 28, 2020, at the Commons at Lewis and Clark Community College to celebrate our 12 Women of Distinction awardees: Dr. Wendy Adams, Nancy Berry, Rosetta L. Brown, Senator Rachelle Aud Crowe, Monica Ellebracht, Olivia Ann” Ervin, Angela Gray, Lisa Hayes, Sherry I. McCrady, Robyne O’Mara, Kendra Lynette Stiff, and Virginia Woulfe-Beile.
Registration and networking begin at 5:15 p.m. with dinner and awards celebration to follow at 6:00 p.m. Academy photos will be taken at 5:45 pm. If you have already registered, you do not need to do anything; your registration will automatically be moved to our new date. If you have any questions, please contact the YWCA of Alton at 618-465-7774. If you haven’t already registered but would like to join us, please visit www.altonywca.com or call the number above.
Support opportunities are still available (sponsorships, advertisements, well-wisher ads and donations). Please contact us by telephone or our website for sponsorship documents.
Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to celebrating together on May 28, 2020.
