ot even the coronaviral pandemic could stop the Women of Achievement from honoring another group of 10 women from the metro area for their outstanding volunteer service and leadership. Although originally scheduled for May 12 at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis in Clayton, the 65th Women of Achievement celebration took place later under other circumstances, when COVID-19 prompted the nonprofit’s leaders to pivot. Instead, this year’s celebration was filmed on July 28 at The Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis’ Grand Center Arts District.
