A Luncheon Honoring Women
This luncheon will celebrate women in our community living with chronic illnesses and diseases but still find time and energy to give back to the community. Each of the ladies live with different diseases; however, these ailments do not define them nor do these wonderful women allow life to be compromised. Each woman shares a story that’s all her own. However, each story teaches life lessons about strength, faith, love for life, hope, and tenacity. I hope this annual luncheon will inspire others to take a look at their own lives and incorporate a bit of each woman being celebrated into their own lives. The ladies being honored are : Rosie Butler, Raven Burton, Daron Drew, Nyya Parson-Hudson, Freida Hall, Rochelle Malone, and Sandra Little-Brown.
This luncheon will take place at Ross Bridge Town Square Center on Saturday, May 17, from 1-3p.m. and tickets are $35/person. Isis Jones of 98.7FM will be the Mistress of Ceremony for the day. Secret judges will also be in attendance who will determine which winning lady is wearing the best looking high heels of the day. A silent auction will also take place during the luncheon, with accessories for women and a portion of the proceeds going to First United Community Foundation (a nonprofit in the Birmingham area). The speaker for the day will be Tina Kay, the host, who lives with Sickle Cell Disease as she shares her story and talks about the price we pay as women, wearing High Heels in High Places.
