All of these women — Carol Warren, Debra Heise, Diane Green, Judy Dabrowski and Nancy Lewis — over the course of their lives have contributed to the betterment of community through their leadership and service and have served as inspirational role models in Bonner County. All family, friends and community members are invited to attend the luncheon to recognize these outstanding women.
