Evergreen Award of Marquette County
October 21 @ 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm
The Evergreen Award honors individuals who are dedicated to supporting and mentoring women and girls and
helping them to reach their leadership potential. These exceptional individuals excel in their chosen path,
devote time and energy to their community in a meaningful way, and blaze trails for others to follow.
Community members are also cordially invited to attend the Evergreen Luncheon on Monday October 21,
2024 at the Holiday Inn of Marquette. The event runs from 12:00-1:30 and tickets are $15; they may be
purchased online at eventbrite.com, simply search Evergreen Award of Marquette County. The luncheon will
honor last year’s recipient, Tia Rodda, and announce the recipient for 2024.
“This is my favorite lunch of the year,” stated Kori Bjorne, Evergreen Committee Chair. “It’s truly a
partnership of service clubs, the volunteer committees, and the community to honor last year’s recipient and
announce this year’s recipient. I think the surprise element is my favorite, nobody but the selection committee
knows who was nominated or who is chosen, so when we announce the name, there is often shock, laughter,
sometimes tears, and pride for this person in our community who has made such a difference in the lives of
women and children in Marquette County.”
