WEIRTON — Members of the Funseeker’s Club gathered at Undo’s restaurant in Weirton for their August meeting.

The 45 members in attendance were welcomed by President Cathy DiBenedetto, who called the meeting to order.

DiBenedetto then introduced Joann Bugin, who led the group in a short blessing, led in the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance and led in the singing of “God Bless America.”

Those who were celebrating having an August birthday or anniversary were recognized.

Following a buffet dinner, members played multiple rounds of bingo.

The winners of bingo included: Carl Truax, Frank Wisnewski and Barbara Purks.

The club suspended the reading of the treasurer’s and secretary’s reports.

Under new business, DiBenedetto reviewed the nominations for the election of officers.

The matter of collecting dues for 2026 was discussed, after which tour director Regina Truax announced which tours are still upcoming for this year.

She then announced that a new adventure awaits those interested.

A week-long excursion to Branson, Mi., will take place in October 2026. Flyers about the trip were made available. Truax noted the trip is filling quickly; therefore, anyone interested in attending should contact her as soon as possible to ensure a reservation on the bus. A deposit will be required to hold the reservation, she said.

The 50/50 drawing was won by Valerie Rowland.

Door prizes were presented by the team of Donna Balzano, Rose Chappano and Roberta Antinone.

Door prize winners were: Lee Lewis, Bugin, Laura Mamula, Rob Kapadlo, Michelle Fabro, John Balzano, Antinone, Joe DiBenedetto, Larry Purks, Joann Llewellyn, Phyllis Riapos and Terry Mamula.

Funseekers will hold its next meeting Sept. 3 at Undo’s. Entertainment will be provided by the Ron Retzer Trio.
