A fashionable crowd of more than 250 supporters gathered at Tootsies to celebrate the announcement of ABC13’s 2020 Women of Distinction. Honorees were recognized for their outstanding volunteer and community accomplishments. Lesha Elsenbrook and Bobbie Nau, former Women of Distinction and chairs of the “Warm Friends On A Winter Night” event, where the Women of Distinction will be formally presented on Jan. 25, welcomed the crowd. The gala benefits the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation. Honorary chairs Sidney Faust and Cora Sue Mach joined to honor the women. ABC13 news anchor Melanie Lawson introduced the honorees: Cheryl Byington, Zane Carruth, Theresa Chang, Elsie Eckert, Myrtle Jones, Brigitte Kalai, Kelley Lubanko, Joy McCormack, Hannah McNair and Mary Tere Perusquia, and Betty Hrncir, 2020 Ambassador.
