STEUBENVILLE -- The Woman's Club of Steubenville met June 6 at Froehlich's Classic Corner for its final meeting of the club year. The group's meetings will resume in September.
Dr. Susanne Curn-Escobar, vice president, presided and Charlotte Christian gave the invocation. A brief memorial service was conducted by Marge Bedortha, corresponding secretary, who spoke to honor Lucille Biggio.
Biggio was a life member of the club and a friend to members. She died in March.
Following the memorial, officials presented two local high school graduates with a $1,000 scholarship.
Ellen Rohde, co-valedictorian at Catholic Central High School, and Hailey Neeley, a Steubenville High School graduate, were this year's recipients.
Each wrote an essay to the club, expressing their thoughts on community service and their involvement.
Rohde plans to attend the Franciscan University of Steubenville, while Neeley plans to further her education at Malone University.
Guest speaker for the day was Vickie Joseph, secretary for the Fort Steuben Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
