Port Allegany Womens' Club

The Port Allegany Women's Club met February 23 at the Senior Center in Port Allegany.  The meeting had been scheduled for the week before but was postponed due to the frigid temperatures.

Hostesses for the soup supper were Sharen Horvath, Anna Fair and Mary Mensch.  

Mary Gregg introduced and welcomed new members Rhonda Butler, Mary Kinney, Krystal Meade and Judy Nobles.  

The program was given by head librarian at the S. W. Smith Memorial Library, Teri McDowell,  She explained how the state and federal funding for operations works, told of the Friends of the Library Book Sale, and invited members to stop in, renew their library cards and check out what's happening at the library.

The club heard a report on the 2014 Wreath Project and voted to purchase a new spring banner to be hung on the pols on Main Street.  Also discussed was the landscaping of the gazebo on the town square; the 2015 Fair on the Square scheduled for July 11 - Gloria McDowell and Joyce Stehle will consider the options and report back to the club with ideas of what could be contributed by the club to the event.  Mary Gregg and Pam Fischer will look for speakers for upcoming meetings.
