The ninth annual YWCA Women of Distinction awards dinner is taking place tomorrow evening. The dinner honours women whose outstanding activities and achievements contribute to the well-being and future of her community.

Nina Cordell, the Women’s Program Coordinator with the YWCA Thompson, spoke to 102.9 CHTM and said that many people have asked her if men are allowed to attend. She told the station that men are more than welcome to attend, as the event is for everyone.

Everyone is invited to the event, which starts with cocktails at 5:30 at Riverlodge Place. The cocktails will be followed by a dinner, catered by Jose Pereira, which starts at 6:30. The evening will feature local entertainment, with sound provided by Music Makers.

Audrey Beaton, Sharon Cordell and Cecile Martin are this years’ nominees for the Woman of Distinction award.

There were no nominations this year in the Chantelle Chornoby Memorial Award for Young Women of Distinction category.

Tickets cost $30.00 each and are available until the end of the day at Scotiabank, located at 35 Thompson Drive.
