Broward County Women's Hall of Fame
The Broward County Women's History Coalition invites you to attend the 15th annual induction ceremony for the Broward County Women's Hall of Fame.
The event is being held Sunday, March 26th, at the Old Fort Lauderdale Village, Museum, and New River Inn, 219 SW 2nd Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, at 1:30 PM. In addition to the induction ceremony, Broward County Students will be awarded trophies and certificates for their award winning essays for Women's History Month. The theme this year is; Women Change Broward.
Inductees this year include realtors Myrtle T. "Andy" Anderson, (posthumously) and Lorraine Fletcher, National Alliance for Mental Illness President Evelyn Miller, and local, state, and national activist and advocate, Melissa Fojtik. Speaker at the event will be 2003 Women's Hall of Fame inductee, the Honorable State Senator, Nan S. Rich.
For those of you familiar with the Broward County Women's Hall of Fame, there will be several "surprise" announcements which will affect the women of Broward County into the foreseeable future. Women have been written out of history for many years. The surprises will assist in remedying this situation for Broward county's women.
The event is free and open to the public. Valet parking is available at The River House Restaurant. Turn SOUTH from SW 2nd Street onto SW 3rd Avenue. It is a very short stroll through the yard to the grounds of the Fort Lauderdale Historical Society grounds. Parking is also available at the County Garage at the intersection of SW 2nd Street and the railroad tracks.
There will be a reception and a "Special Surprise" following the ceremonies. Cost for the reception is $10.00 in advance or $15.00 at the door. Please make your reservation by e-mailing Patti Lynn at: patti7177@bellsouth.net reservations will be honored at the door at the pre-event price.
The Broward County Women's History Coalition thanks all of those who have worked so hard to bring this event to fruition. There are no words that would adequately express the appreciation that I have for Ruth McShane, the Fort Lauderdale Historical Society, Brooke Trace, the New River Inn staff, and Women's History Coalition treasurer, Carol Pasternak. If any one of those people were removed from the equation, this event would never have happened.
