DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Feb. 14, 2014) – The Daytona State College Center for Women and Men and its advisory board will honor a veteran local teacher at their annual fundraising luncheon in commemoration of National Women’s History Month on Thursday, March 27, from noon to 1:30 p.m.
The event features a luncheon prepared by Daytona State Culinary program students under the tutelage of their award-winning chef and program chair, Costa Magoulas. There will be door prizes and a raffle sponsored by Mercedes Benz of Daytona Beach, which will provide 10 Mercedes Benz automobiles for winners to enjoy the luxury of driving for a specified time period.
The theme for National Women’s History Month is “Women of Character, Commitment and Courage,” which recognizes the achievements, leadership, strength and love of the women who help build America, and honors the extraordinary and often unrecognized determination and tenacity of women.
This year’s event honors Daytona Beach’s own Valencia Robinson, a middle school language arts teacher who was named one of People Magazine’s 2013 Teachers of the Year. Robinson, who also is the keynote speaker for the event, teaches intensive reading at New Smyrna Beach Middle School. She also is a breast cancer survivor and has co-written a book, “Promise Me You Will,” with her teenage son, Devon, about her battle with the disease and how she managed to take control of her health.
In recognizing Robinson for the award, People Magazine cited her dedication to the most at-risk students and how, after working with her, their standardized reading test scores often increase by up to 60 percent. She stays involved with her students and their families outside the classroom and, along with her husband, Jeff, has started a foundation that helps support her students’ families with household bills and medical needs.
More than 250 people are expected to attend the luncheon, which will be held in the Hosseini Center on the Daytona Beach Campus, 1200 W. International Speedway Blvd. Cost is $40 per person or $320 for a table of eight. Seating is limited; proceeds will benefit Center for Women and Men programs. Tickets can be purchased online through March 14 at www.DaytonaState.edu/dass/wcluncheon.html.
The Center for Women and Men was established in 1976 to promote the achievement of the educational, professional and personal goals of a diverse student population through the development and implementation of programs that provide flexible, individualized and supportive services.

ReplyDeleteThere are many people who live with missing teeth and this condition are very common in the East hartford area. The importance of regular dentist visits cannot be stressed enough. If you miss more than three dentist visits within a year, you should make an appointment for a dental check-up with your regular dentist.
