This past Friday Club 360 hosted their 2nd annual awards dinner at the St. Andrews Bay Yacht Club, honoring ladies in Bay County, Florida for their commitment to the community and awarding a scholarship to one local youth. The evening’s events honored five women and as follows:
The Full Circle Award went to Philomena Martrain for her volunteerism which embodies the mission of Club 360 in giving back full circle.
The Founders Award went to Marta Rose-Thorpe, and is nominated by the Club President, whom she believes contributed and assisted in the successful activities of the organization. It is important to note founding members are not eligible for this award.
Two businesses were honored for their support for the organization including Lamar Advertising and VBA Design, Inc.
The Pillar of our Community Award went to Pat Sabiston and is awarded to a woman who is not a member of the organization; she is a woman who supports other women in our community, who embodies our mission of giving back full circle, is a mentor, and someone that others look up to for guidance and support.
The Scholarship recipient, Maria Spicer, was honored and awarded a $500 Scholarship for her volunteerism and her willingness to give back.
Club 360, whose tagline is Women Giving Back Full Circle, was formed in early 2020 as a charitable organization that offers women leaders in our community the opportunity to give back, beginning with educating our youth on career opportunities and ending with providing scholarships and networking with like-minded women. “It is an honor to be a part of an organization that honors women in our community for giving back and helping our youth with career choices,” said Founder Irene Field. “There is a great deal of work to be done, and these women are ready for the challenge.”
