Correction/Clarification

Paediatrician Dr Carolyn Gomes was incorrectly referred to as an attorney. We apologise for the error.

Good deeds and hard work should be rewarded, and they were for five outstanding women, last Friday, as the Kiwanis Club of New Kingston hosted its annual Women of Excellence champagne luncheon at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel.

Pamela Harrison, educator, Sheila Graham, lecturer/cultural specialist, and Scarlette Gillings, head of Jamaica Social Investment Fund, each received the Veuve Clicquot Award. Dr Carolyn Gomes, paediatrician/human rights activist, received the Kiwanis Club of New Kingston Award for Exemplary Leadership and Corporate Social Responsibility. The final recipient, Frances Madden, social worker, got the Outstanding Community Service Award.

The guests looked fabulous too. Here are pictorial highlights. (See Flair for the winners.)

Left: April Brown looks fabulous from head to toe. In cool tones of light red, pink and white, she is every inch the corporate lady out to a power lunch. Right:Carole Fullerton also chose red, with the strong contrast of black to make her fashion statement at the Kiwanis Club of New Kingston's Women of Excellence champagne luncheon. It was held on Friday at The Jamaica Pegasus.

Way to go! Right: Joan-Marie Powell stands fashionably proud and she has every reason to be. Sporting corporate chic, she poses for Something Extra. - Colin Hamilton/Freelance Photographer

Left: With such poise, elegance and, of course, a pretty face, Debra Lopez is stunning in this hot, red suit. To tone things down, she wore beige pumps for contrast. Right: Vanessa Miller definitely looks spectacular in her red pants suit with complementary scarf. Her body language says 'I have the right attitude!'
