This year is different. Like you, we have been closely monitoring the growing impact and increased uncertainty around COVID-19 coronavirus in our local community. 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 until September 17, 2020.
