The Women in Tyler Planning Committee announced their 2016 Honorees last week at the McClendon House. These women will be honored with a luncheon on March 31.

"The committee asked for nominations from the public in August that fit our 2016 theme, Women With a Cause,” said Tamma Isabell, event co-chair. “We received numerous nominations and the committee selected six deserving women.”

The 2016 honorees are:
Debra Davis
Regina Davis
Gayle Helms
Maxine Herbst
Gillian Sheridan
Astilma Vargas

Tickets are on sale now for the luncheon, which will be held at the Tyler Rose Garden.  To make reservations, send a $25 check to Women in Tyler at P.O. Box 1432, Tyler, TX 75710.

“Women with a Cause identifies those women who have put feet to the causes they are most passionate about,” said Louellen Lowe, event co-chair. “This year, they are women who have cared for our youth, energized women to get life-saving mammograms, provided for beloved pets of the elderly, restored significant pieces of history in Tyler, and challenged us all to consider adoption. They are our community’s all-stars, and we are excited for this opportunity to honor them.”
