The  Junior League of Manatee County hosted the 8th Annual Women In Strength Luncheon benefiting PACE Center for Girls on February 25, 2009 at the Bradenton Country Club.  Three local women, including one former PACE girl, shared stories of how they overcame obstacles in their lives to become successful.  All PACE girls were invited as guests of the Junior League, and not only had the opportunity to hear the honorees' inspiring stories, but enjoyed a delicious lunch and amazing gift bags filled by members of the Junior League.  PACE Center for Girls is truly thankful for this partnership and looks forward to next year's event!
