Representatives of Weirton’s Church Women United met at the Mary H. Weir Public Library on Oct. 22 to receive a proclamation from the city in recognition of their annual fundraising efforts for UNICEF. UNICEF, formally known as the United Nations Children’s Fund, is an agency of the United Nations responsible for providing humanitarian and developmental aid to children worldwide. Collection boxes are available at several local churches to assist with this year’s drive. Taking part in the presentation were, from left, Mayor Harold Miller, Ronda Krebs, Helen Jeter, Joyce Summers, CWU President Rebeca Turner, Earlean Jones and library Director Rik Rekowski. — Craig Howell
