Congratulations to our friends at the The Mon Valley Independent on their 10-year anniversary! Local journalism is essential, and we're grateful to the team at the MVI for telling the stories of our communities. Fun fact: an early predecessor to the MVI was the Charleroi Mail. The Athene Club was first mentioned in 1905!

We were honored to host the female graduates of Charleroi Area School District today at the 78th annual Senior Tea! Keynote speaker Karen Kosh of K delivered an energetic and dynamic speech, Saint Andrew Mid Mon Marian Hall was beautiful, the food by Angela Dzurinko was delicious, and of course, we donned our festive hats and fascinators. Special thanks to cfsbank, Knights of Columbus Council 956, the Charleroi Chapter of the International Order of Oddfellows for supporting the tea.

Tonight, we celebrate the life of Ruth Adele Corrin, a past president of the club, and a model to us all - a career woman, a community leader, a lifelong teacher and learner, and a proud wife, mother, and grandmother. We will miss her wisdom, leadership, and stylish outfits!

Celebrate the life of Ruth Corrin and join others in sharing memories, stories, and condolences.

We look forward to hosting our young women for an afternoon of delicious food & desserts, inspiring words, and, of course, tea & festive hats!
