For the second year in a row Martha Bennett was named “Cham-bette of the Year” during the Chantry Island Cham-bettes’ annual awards and dinner held at the Walker House May 1. Bennett, who had been photographing the Service Award winners, was surprised when her name was announced and had to hand off the camera to another Cham-bette before accepting her award.
“Thank you so much,” she said. “You are all my family... you are all wonderful, you mean so much to me, you're such an important part of my life,” said Bennett who is chair of the Cham-bettes’ annual Christmas Home Tour and the club’s soon to be Vice President.
New members of the Cham-bette executive were presented during the evening with current President Connie Moss professing that it was a privilege to serve, while thanking Past President Sandy Howcroft for her ongoing support.
New executive members were announced with Cham-bette Chris Wood taking the title of President, Martha Bennett becoming Vice President and Connie Moss stepping into the Past President role.
