During lunch, the Woman of the Year was announced as Irene Everett. A few words were spoken of Everett, such as the fact that she can’t say no to helping the community in one way or another.
It was also stated that she will get her hands dirty for wheatever cause she is supporting and works closely with the Relay for Life, the chamber of commerce, Habitat for Humanity of Castle Country’s a Brush With Kindness and the board of realtors while maintaining a full-time job.
