A standing room only crowd at the historic Elmont Memorial Library Theatre was the scene for Assemblyman Tom Alfano’s 6th annual “Women of Distinction Awards.”  The ceremony, expanded to include all communities in the 21st Assembly district, honored women for their professional, community and leadership roles.  Alfano started the program six years ago to thank women for what he called “their selfless contributions in making our communities and state a better place.”

Women of Distinction '09“These women are real foundations of our greater community. I can’t thank them enough for their service and making a difference in the lives of countless people. They are leaders in every sense of the word,” said Assemblyman Tom Alfano.

The program began with Girl Scout Troop 1527 of Alden Terrace School and Franklin Square resident and NYPD Police Officer Randi LoCicero and Covert Avenue School Rachel Havrylkoff leading the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance.  Thereafter, LIU college student and Elmont Memorial High School student Jason Reese wowed the crowd with a patriotic rendition of the “Star Spangle Banner.” A special video presentation entitled “Women of Distinction” was shown to the sounds of Stevie Wonder.
