Just In: Les Femmes Du Monde Reveals Six To Be Celebrated At Women Of The Year Awards Luncheon At Harlan Crow’s Library

Sep 3, 2014 8:00 PM by Jeanne Prejean

The Les Femmes du Monde gals have been dropping hints of change in the air about their annual Woman of the Year Award L. Tonight the waiting ended and Luncheon Chair Regina Bruce and Les Femmes President Alyce Heinrich let the cat out of the bag. Or, rather they revealed a collection of impressive kittens at Ka and LL Cotter’s home. Instead of doing a solo honoree, they’re breaking with tradition and celebrating six outstanding women, each representing a decade of Les Femmes du Monde.

Drum roll, please.
