Last night Washington Women in Public Relations (WWPR) hosted what may become a lovely tradition, a pre-event reception at which past winners of its prestigious PR Woman of the Year Award were saluted and were joined by the three 2009 honorees and event sponsors.
(Pictured are Pat Wheeler, 1993 PR Woman of the Year; Jody Arlington, 2009 honoree; Kate Perrin, PRofessional Solutions LLC, representing The Capital Buzz which is a sponsor; a guest of Ms. Arlington; and Debbie Friez, BurrellesLuce, a WWPR Board member as well as sponsor.)

The award luncheon, which usually draws about 250 PR professionals and colleagues of the honorees, will be held Wednesday, November 4, at the Washington Marriott at Metro Center.
