WOS Bio-created Community Events
The Women of Stamina Awards emphasizes three key gifts this special group is blessed with presently, Longevity aged 80 and over, quality of life, and acquired wisdom collectively is what we celebrate at the awards program. Their Words of Wisdom are featured in the program book.
However, we are excited to host part two which includes the foundation for events we present to the community. WOS Bio-created community events inspire and inform younger generations showcasing the remarkable accomplishments of the awardees. We firmly believe their achievements are best recognized through action.
Each WOS Bio-created event includes a historical moment, an exhibit, and an acknowledgment of a 21st-century individual who is presently going above and beyond in the featured category. These events are presented throughout the year.
Those Who Labor Among Us Award
2002 WOS Helen King
TWLAU Award honors 21st Century Service Workers. Awardees receive The Helen King Service Award of Excellence Certificate. This certificate bears the name of 2002 WOS Helen King who served as the first African American Supervisor over housekeeping at the South's Old Grand Hotel, The Peabody in 1968. This award pays tribute to a group so overlooked.
We acknowledge their efforts and give them due respect for working in their specific categories where they render service with pride and dignity that is reflected in their work performance. This is indeed a rarity in the 21st-Century where customer service is at its worst. But this group does exist, and they provide so much for the masses.
It is only proper and fitting that we acknowledge their effort. The service areas include Custodial Support, Laundry Service, Food Service, Grounds Keepers, Childcare Providers, Private Maids and Butlers, Drivers and Caregivers, etc.
