BURBANK -- Organizers of the Woman of the Year project have made a few
changes this year to selecting the winner.
Zonta Club of Burbank Area has discontinued the categorical awards,
which the group thought were too limiting, said Marilyn Mauzey,
chairwoman. A Woman of the Year will be chosen from all the women
nominated, and qualifications will expand.
"We didn't want to limit the competition to straight volunteerism,"
she said. "We're looking for a woman who is accomplished at being a wife
and mother, a business woman and being able to do volunteer work."
Accomplishments will not be limited to one year.
Judges are Capt. Brenda Smith, of the Burbank Salvation Army; Cheryl
Wiliams Khoury, PTA volunteer; and Terri Campbell, of the American Red
Cross, Burbank Chapter.
The luncheon will begin with a social hour at 11 a.m. Nov. 3 at The
Castaway, 1250 Harvard Road.
Tickets are $35, and reservations can be made by calling Lee Bellis at
845-4560. Deadline for reservations is Nov. 1.
