On May 10, 2022, the Professional Womens’ Organization of Williamsburg County, SC gathered for their annual luncheon at the Santee Electric facility with the theme, “Celebrating Women in Williamsburg County”. Tables decorated with springtime flowers reflected the room full of at least 100 women of all professions to celebrate achievements and contribution from women to the community at large.
Fran Clowney, president of the Womens’ Group, and her team hosted the catered luncheon and event. Leslee Spivey served as mistress of ceremonies.
Dr. Patty Lee, president of Williamsburg Technical College, addressed the group with her inspiring life story of growing up to her achievement today because of “family and faith”. Afterwards, there were four recognitions of women from the county for their achievements. The Felician Sisters were among those recognized for the 30 years of contributions to the area especially recognizing the most recent Neighborhood Forum project on Thorne Avenue. Once again, the Sisters acknowledge that the work and ministry of Felician Center succeeds because of the ecumenical involvement and contributions of people and benefactors from churches, organizations, schools from SC and beyond.
