We received a letter from the Brookhaven Town Office of Women's Services they are once again seeking nominations for outstanding women of Brookhaven who perform a wide variety of tasks on a professional and volunteer basis. They have been doing this recognition since 1986. They are contacting community groups, businesses and individuals once again in hopes that we can nominate such a candidate who lives or works in Brookhaven. The form must be filled out and be returned to the Women's Services no later than Friday, Jan. 18, 2008 A resume or equivalent and two letters of recommendation must be included.
