The Woman’s City Club (WCC) invites the community to its Saturday, May 3, Seasongood Luncheon, an event held each spring in honor of Agnes B. Seasongood (1890-1982), a WCC leader, benefactor, and community activist. It is also when WCC gives the Marian Spencer education awards to promising young women. This will be a festive occasion as we gather for a luncheon buffet to hear a local woman leader speak on a topic of interest and urgency and learn about the award-winners, who will be present.
WCC will present Administrative Judge of Hamilton County Common Pleas Court, The Honorable Judge Wende Cross has had a varied and distinguished career, as a lawyer in Kentucky, as an Assistant United States Attorney for 10 years, and as the principal of a small law firm focusing on Civil Rights litigation, family law, and criminal defense. Judge Cross was then appointed Magistrate of the Hamilton County Juvenile Court, where she served children and families of Hamilton County before her election to Common Pleas Court. Her lifelong dream of becoming a judge is rooted in her values of justice, fairness, and rehabilitation.
WCC will present education awards to five civic-minded women graduating from high schools in Greater Cincinnati to further their educational goals. The awards are named for Marian A. Spencer, the beloved civil rights activist and past president of WCC, who died in 2019. WCC will select five talented and deserving award recipients based on their submitted essays on “Growing into Citizenship: Speaking Up and Making a Difference” as well as school recommendations.
Come early to bid on an array of gift baskets donated by WCC members. Any profits from the lunch and basket sales benefit the Education Awards Fund.
