The YMCA-YWCA Women of Distinction Awards






It was an exciting evening.

Mary Burrows, age 100, stole the show. Mary was nominated and received the award for this year's woman of distinction in Media and Public Relations. Mary walked to the podium and got the whole room laughing. It was an incredible example of grace and style. Well done Mary!

My congratulations to all the nominees and to the award winners.
