In January 2026 we celebrated our 100th year serving the world. We had a locally catered meal at the Hall at Giddings Park. Our guest speakers included District Governor Bob Oborn and Geneva president Corinne Ball. Special proclamations by Mayor Steven SEKANINA, County Commissioner Casey kozlowski, State and Representative David Thomas. Our main speaker and historian Beverly Ghent Skrzynski was lovely. Our emcee and president Emily Fuller keep the program rolling as was excellent. Reverend Ron Mowry provided an inspiring Invocation and closed with a wonderful Benediction. Fred Burazer provided some light music to keep the affair up beat. Gabe Pytel had some membership remarks and presented Don Burkholder a Legacy award. Great attendance with over 75 people on a cold January day!
