ALTON - YWCA of Alton’s Women of Distinction celebration has always been one of our most special events. It is a well-loved and powerful tradition, honoring remarkable women in our community, and we welcome guests from near and far to celebrate our impressive awardees.
This year is different. Like you, we have 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.
