Millie Mitchell receives 2024 Ceec Abrahams Award

Each year the Ceec Abrahams Award is presented to a member of SITM who has gone above and beyond the call of duty in her support of the club and its activities. Ceec Abrahams was a founding member of our club and worked tirelessly to promote the spirit of community and volunteerism. The award was instituted in her honor in 1983.

You’ll find Millie Mitchell volunteering in every aspect of the club. Her leadership includes serving as as club president, board member, coordinator  of many committees and informal advisor to others. She has a sharp attention to detail, while never losing sight of the “big picture”.  She has shared her expertise in non-profit finance by helping the club streamline its financial reports for all to understand. Most recently, Millie has stepped up by taking on the duties of a “Zoom Wrangler” and leading in the preparation for our September High Tea event. Her wry sense of humor, sharp intelligence and sincere caring as a friend are just some of the qualities that make her so special.

Congratulations Millie!
