At the May Banquet we enjoyed meeting the two recipients of our
scholarships. They are delightful young women who will do our club proud. They
are Lauren Isherwood, who will be attending John Carroll University, and Hailey
Bechtold, who will attend Duquesne University. We wish them well in their
studies! We also honored our 50 year members: Sandra Haber, Esther Prudden,
Mary Beth Wilson, Mary Sy and Jean Mullane (posthumously). Our 25 year member,
Mary Finn, was unable to attend and will be honored at the June meeting.
