This year’s luncheon will be from noon to 1:30 p.m. Oct. 22 at FFY with the theme “Invent Your Tomorrow!”
In its fifth year, the Great Girls Wonderful Women program connects community leaders with some of FFY’s “great girls,” by seating community representatives with FFY participants during the luncheon.

Each table at the luncheon has six community representatives and two FFY “great girls” who get to know possible mentors in the community through the event.
Proceeds from the event support the girls in FFY programming, particularly if fees are a barrier to their family.
Keynote speaker will be Angie May, president of Analytical Engineering Inc., in Columbus, which has been in operation for 25 years. She is a graduate of Tri-State University with a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from Purdue University. She serves on the boards of several nonprofits in Bartholomew County, along with serving on an advisory board for an Indiana bank.

She is currently CEO of KEI Connects, a strategic communication business, and is Bartholomew Consolidated School Corp.’s multicultural diversity director. She is a long-time member of the National Association of Black Journalists.
The luncheon will be prepared and served by Artisan Foodworks.
