This year’s theme will be “Women, Tea and Conversation.”

LEWISTON – The Twin Cities announce that registration is open for those who wish to attend the fourth annual Celebrating the Women of L/A event, to be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 10, on the lawn at Central Maine Community College, 1250 Turner St., Auburn.

This year’s theme will be “Women, Tea and Conversation” with complimentary desserts and tea provided, along with musical entertainment by local performer Bette Sanborne and comments by an inspirational speaker. There will be an opportunity to win door prizes.

“Celebrating the Women of LA,” an annual event sponsored by area businesses, honors women within the Lewiston-Auburn community, past and present. For decades, women have raised children, served as caregivers, provided a solid foundation in the home and have played a vital employment role within local mills, businesses, government and schools, as well as volunteered countless hours to community service projects.

This year, the event will be held in partnership with “Club W,” a free membership program affiliated with St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center.

Club W is designed to provide women with educationally and personally enriching experiences by offering programs that focus on all aspects of a woman’s life.

The Twin Cities and Club W are anticipating that this year’s celebration will be one in which women experience a time of laughter, relaxation and appreciation for the contributions they have made, and continue to make, within the world around them.

As has been done each year, a special aspect will feature the display of an Honor Board paying tribute to Lewiston-Auburn women. The names of all those celebrated through the Honor Board will be entered into the “Congressional Record” by Sen. Susan M. Collins.

Reservations for the free event (age 18 and above) may be made by calling 784-2951, extension 110, by Sept. 2. Until capacity is reached, reservations will be made on a first-come, first-serve basis with no more than four names registered at one time.
