YWCA wishes BRAVA! to worthy women
When she took to the stage to congratulate the winners of the 2012 BRAVA awards, Jen Psaki, a former deputy communications director for President Barack Obama, shared the words of one of the country’s most colorful female politicians.
“There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help women.”
Those words were originally spoken by former Texas Governor Ann Richards and were repeated by Ms. Psaki as part of her message about the power of women to make a difference in the world one person at a time.
The BRAVA awards, which were held Feb. 2 at the Hyatt Regency, are an annual YWCA of Greenwich tradition that honors local women who have excelled in their careers and community service. YWCA Board of Directors Chairman Catherine Seasonwein said the award demonstrates the YWCA’s “commitment to empowering women” and said this year’s honorees were “dynamic, accomplished women who have greatly enhanced our communities with all that they do.”Greenwich Local News

With the team’s brutal regular season now in the rear-view mirror, the Greenwich High School wrestling team is focusing on this weekend’s Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference tournament.
“We are relatively a young team in terms of experience,” Albano said. “I think going into the tournament, maybe four or five guys have wrestled in this tournament before, never mind medaling. It’s going to be a new experience for a bunch of kids. I don’t think the bar is any lower than any other year. We’re going to try and place as many kids as we can. Last year we placed around 10 and that’s a lofty goal, but it’s definitely obtainable. We have a lot of guys that are right on the fringe. It will depend on how they show up, but I think they are prepared and are ready to go after their goals. It’s all about putting it together.”Arts & Leisure Headlines
