FORT MYERS, Fla. - eTradeWire -- Pace Center for Girls, Lee County has announced its virtual 2021 Grande Dames Tea on March 11, when Pace will honor three local women – Naomi Bloom, Mariel Goss and Robin Krivanek – for their significant impact on the community.

Pace's annual Grande Dames Tea honors women who exemplify the organization's guiding principles and have made an impact through their roles in business, community and philanthropy. The inspirational event recognizes the unique perspectives and powerful insights that these women have gained in life, and honorees will share their wisdom during a Q&A session led by the young women of Pace. The virtual program will be complemented with a performance by the Pace girls and prize drawings.

"We invite the community to join us for an afternoon of inspiration as we recognize our community's most revered women – this year with a virtual twist," said Meg M. Geltner, executive director at Pace Center for Girls, Lee County. "This time-honored Pace tradition celebrates the female spirit while recognizing the wisdom that comes with time, and learning from these women's lives is an unforgettable opportunity."
