Eighteen women living in North Hempstead will be honored this month for the 22nd Annual May W. Newburger Women’s Roll of Honor, in celebration of Women’s History Month.

North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth and Town Clerk Wayne Wink announced the honorees Thursday.

This year’s breakfast will take place Thursday, March 26, from 8-10 a.m., at the Clubhouse at Harbor Links in Port Washington. Reservations are required.

“I am proud to honor these outstanding women for their great contributions to North Hempstead,” Event chairperson Wayne Wink said. “Each of these women reflects the best that our communities have to offer and they deserve to be recognized for their efforts.”
