This year’s celebration was held at Bluegrass Yacht & Country Club on Feb. 31, with nearly 200 women and men in attendance. WSMV Channel 4 Television Anchor Holly Thompson served as the emcee for the event, which featured presentations by Deb Varallo and Desneige Bourret. Throughout the luncheon winners were recognized for their accomplishments in five different categories including education and healthcare.
