The event will feature vintage circus décor with the ever-popular photo booth. During the networking social, women will be enchanted by magic and acrobat-like performances. The evening’s dinner, catered by Bizzell’s of Hartsville, SC, includes colorful and delicious circus-type fare with enough variety to tantalize and excite.
The fun will continue as recent Leadership Hartsville graduate and founder of Leadership Strategy and Consulting, LLC, Toyinda Smith will deliver a thrilling message about juggling life. A scholarship to a Coker College student and a Florence-Darlington Technical College student will be presented. The Woman of Achievement will be recognized during the event for her contributions to her profession and the community.
