Monongahela Woman’s Club recently helped improve the ambiance for guests at Monongahela Valley Hospital’s Gift Shop, by raising nearly $700 to reupholster the heavily used lunch counter seats.

“While visiting my aunt, I saw that the seats could use some TLC, and I thought it would be a great project for our club to help with,” said Judy McCurry of Craven Hill, a past president and club member for 16 years.
She said it was a case of being in the right place at the right time.
Ms. McCurry approached the Gift Shop manager and then brought the idea to club President Marcia Barna, who guides the group in choosing projects each year. Club members agreed and Ms. Barna contacted Garrie Jackson of Jackson Upholstery in Monongahela to do the work.
The club held various fundraisers, including what have become two local traditions — selling homemade cranberry jalapeño jelly and hosting the annual Ringgold Senior Girls Tea at the Monongahela Fire Hall each April.
