As you know, this year’s Women of Distinction Luncheon will held at noon on Sunday, April 8th, at LiGreci’s Staaten. To support the luncheon we need every member to solicit journal ads and gift certificates for the auction. Attached is a letter for you to copy and bring to establishments you frequent.

Restaurants, spas, salons, accounts, dry cleaners etc. are often very happy to give their support with a gift certificate or place an ad at the request of a loyal patron.

Remember that proceeds from this event will support scholarships and initiatives that foster the personal growth of local women.

Thank you for your support,
Margaret Antoniello, Cammie Brandofino, Diane Seridge Co-Chairs Women of Distinction Luncheon
