In 2011, the CFUW Cranbrook Chapter was proud to honour two women of distinction: Velma McKay & Vicky Dalton. Click here for the News Release announcing the winners. Congratulations to both women. Sadly, Velma lost her battle with cancer shortly after the announcement. She was deeply honoured and this was one of her last great triumphs.
Anyone can submit a nomination. Deadline is February 17th, 2012 at Noon. Details follow.
