Woman of Distinction Award Presented to:

 Barbie K. Reed By Actress Joan Rivers, Orlando Florida

Dear Ms. Barbie K. Reed,

Once again Congratulations on being awarded as our 2008 Woman of Distinction for the Category of Business!  On the evening of Wednesday, July 30, 2008, eight amazing women were recognized for their outstanding contributions to our community.  You have succeeded and exemplified what a true role model is for both young girls and adults. Special thanks goes out to Ms. Ruby Clark who submitted your application noting your outstanding personal and professional accomplishments.  Breaking records this year in having more than forty nominations received, I am honored to have you represent Citrus Council as one of our distinguished recipients.  There were several deserving women who go above and beyond the call of duty to make a difference in Central Florida and it was a privilege to pay tribute to your hard work and dedication.
