Grace Club Honors Fran Fluhler

The Grace Club held its 22nd Grace Award Luncheon on December 8 at the Ledges Clubhouse.

The prestigious Grace Award is given every two years to a woman whose outstanding volunteerism has made a significant contribution to HuntsvilleMadison County. The recipient of the 2022 Grace Award was Fran Fluhler.

Fluhler is the Director of Manna House, the food distribution program of the Huntsville Dream Center. Her brother, David Lucas, was the guest speaker. He noted, “Fran’s ministry at Manna House provides daily bread for those in physical need, but more importantly, Fran’s witness while doing so, shares Christ’s message of God’s everlasting Bread of Life.” Fluhler recognized how vital other volunteers are. She said she is thankful “to work in a city of compassionate, generous people who come right alongside and say, ‘Hey, what can we do to help?’”

Fran’s family and friends were among the guests; plus, former Grace Award recipients, Bobby Bradley and Mary Lee Witherspoon; as well as Tacy Buchman, recipient of the UAH Grace Club Scholarship. Rusty Nelson, pastor of The Rock Family Worship Center, led the blessing and benediction for the occasion. Piano music was performed by Lori Shrout. Luncheon Committee chair was Mary Alice Brinkley and Award Committee chair was Wimberley Watts.

The Grace Club, now in its 108th year as a service organization, has a long history of supporting many local civic and charitable organizations through its fundraising efforts. n
