The Omnibus Club of West Unity held its April 13 meeting at the home of Barb Green. Jared Schnee from the Williams County Public Library presented an interesting program on Murders of Williams County beginning with the first murder back in 1847.
Highlights from a rather extensive business meeting are as follows. A thank-you note was received from Aubree Miklovic acknowledging the science fair award she received from the club.
Connie Priser and Shirley Carder served on the Senior College Scholarship Committee and announced three students they selected who will receive $500 college scholarships each.
The names of the recipients will be announced at the Senior High Awards night. The club will be sponsoring the month of February 2027 at the Senior Center. Members can begin collecting bingo prizes and Valentine-themed items.
Discussion was also held concerning involvement with Unity Days in June. A decision will be made after more information is obtained. A slate of officers for the coming year was presented by the nominating committee and they will be installed at the May meeting.
President Rose Miller reviewed a history of the club since it formed in 1962 when it began as a federated club.
Today it is open to all women of the area who have a heart for seeing our local community thrive.
The final meeting of the year will be held May 11 at the home of Vicki Durling with a Spring Fling Fiesta luncheon and installation of officers.
