Women Who Make a Difference --- 2018 Warren Zonta Awards
The Zonta Club of Warren “Women Who Make a Difference” 2018 awards were presented to two women for their leadership in their profession and / or volunteer work in Warren County.
At our April meeting we honored two Women Who Make A Difference. Each year the Zonta Club of Warren honors selected women who make a difference in the community through volunteer work.
“She simply and quietly goes about her work, yet she inspires, empowers and advances the status of women.” We are proud to honor Michelle Gray and Karen Lyle.
Michelle Gray is the office manager of the Warren County Historical Society. Organizing and directing the nearly 100 volunteers is just one of her many duties. She volunteers with the League of Women Voters in numerous capacities in leadership positions. She is a Christian Education teacher at Holy Redeemer Church. Her leadership in our community continues to keep Warren County “on the map.” A contribution to the Veteran’s Affairs of Warren County will be made by Zonta in honor or Michelle.
