All For Women and Girls

Melanie Dumont was kind enough to forward this photo to me. It's from the Wonder of Women event last night for the Main Street Community Foundation's Women and Girls' Fund benefit dinner. From left to right are Margi Fletcher, Sanita Gingris, Sharon Stotz, CPTV host Diane Smith and Jeanne Radcliff. Other than Diane Smith, these women are current or past members of the Women and Girls’ Fund Advisory Board.

Positively Packed

The Main Street Community Foundation held its ninth annual Wonder of Women event last night and wow, it was packed. Organizers said they had about 400 tickets sold and I wonder if there may have even been more.

Diane Smith, the television host of "All Things Connecticut," was the featured speaker. She gave a speech that was part motivational, part inspirational and sometimes, pretty funny.

I'm not someone who watches TV much at all, so I wasn't familiar with Diane, but I can see why people enjoy her so much.

She definitely was a hit with the crowd last night, and it was all for a good cause. Proceeds went to the Women and Girls' Fund.

Hats off to the hardworking organizers and volunteers who made it all happen!
