Miller Honors Five Towns Women Of Distinction

The women were recognized for their outstanding contributions to their communities.

Over the weekend, Assemblyman Melissa Miller honored six local women with the Women of Distinction award.

The honorees included Anissa Moore (Long Beach), Charlene Fried (East Rockaway), Ann DeMichael (Woodmere), Chanie Wolowik (Cedarhurst), Gwynn Campbell (Inwood) and Nadine Jacoby (Oceanside). Local Girl Scouts Troops were in attendance to present the flags and led attendees in the Pledge of Allegiance before the awards were distributed.

"I am in awe of the strength and determination each of these women possess and they have each made a choice to give to others, by doing so they have made such a difference in so many lives," said Miller. "I am so proud to be able to honor these women with my first annual Women of Distinction award for the hard work and extraordinary accomplishments they have made throughout their lifetimes."
