The May joint civic club luncheon, the Annual Spirit of Bartow Awards, is set for Thursday, May 19, 2011, at the Bartow Civic Center, where individuals and/or groups will be honored for their contributions to the Bartow community and whose accomplishments made a positive impact on the area’s quality of life.
Last year’s winners were Anita Stasiak, Gloria Washington, Mary Ann Harrell and Main Street Bartow, Inc. Awards will also be presented to the Bartow Chamber Diplomats, a special group of volunteers who donate their time to operating the Chamber’s Visitors and Welcome Center. Some Diplomats work in the front office, while others continue to help with the newsletter, special projects and events.
The Diplomats will be recognized for their service and a Diplomat of the Year award and a Diplomat with Most Hours Served award will be presented.
Mary Henderson received the plaque for most hours served. Issie Jencowski received the Diplomat of the Year honor for 2010.
The event, including lunch, is $8. Watson Clinic and the Center for Cancer Care and Research are luncheon sponsors.
The serving line opens at 11:45 a.m., and the program begins at noon. For more information, please contact Linda Holcomb at the Bartow Chamber, (863) 533-7125.
