THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF COLLIER COUNTY

1975-2023

2023 Celebrate the League—Leading the Way in Uncharted Waters


Nearly 160 members, spouses, and guests gathered at Celebrate the League event on Tuesday, January 31, 2023, at the Naples Sailing and Yacht Club. The event was developed under the leadership of Teresa Stohs and Denise McLaughlin with the objective of adding funding to the LWVCC Education Fund to support future activities. The keynote speaker was Amy Bennett Williams, a noted writer, author, and environmental enthusiast (pictured with LWVCC Environmental Affairs Committee Co-chair Patti Forkan), whose presentation was entitled “Environmental Uncharted Waters”; Amy shared a little about her writing career and her growing love for protecting the environment and discussed the impact of Hurricane on the environment. Thirty people also attended a private reception with Williams before the dinner.

Total profit from the event is anticipated to be just over $13,000 with the extra in the tickets, a very creative silent auction and donations all contributing to the bottom line. Those in attendance expressed that the evening was quite enjoyable and because many attending were not members, it served as a way for the League to reach out, make new friends and encourage membership.

A special thanks to all the auction donors, table captains, and the event committee. Additional members of the committee were: Libbie Bramson, Ray Kalich, Catherine Hackney, Paul Kardon, Lynn Martin, Pat Plummer, Wendy Riedel, Sue Savage, Susan Sonnenchein, Diana Walsh, Beth Van Damme, and Stacy Vermylen.
