At a glorious lunch and early afternoon meeting on Monday in the Grand Ballroom of the Gettysburg Hotel, the Gettysburg-Adams YWCA presented its 22nd Annual Callie Awards.
The awards recognize the significant community service of women in Adams County.
A large and enthusiastic group was in attendance, including more than a few past recipients.
Congratulations to this year’s winners, and a big thank-you to the organizers, sponsors, and supporters.
It was great to have the Callie Awards back as a live, in-person event, and we look forward to continuing this vital tradition!
