2022 pin presentations included 10 years for Annette Germsheid; 15 years for Rebecca Cey and Chelsea Risling; 30 years for Mary Koch and Chelsea Risling; 50 years for Elizabeth Herle, Helen Miller and Valerie Risling; 65 years for Genevieve Wangler; and 70 years for Liucie Rohs.
St. James CWL in Wilkie began in 1944. There are currently 68 members in the group. The ladies’ church group just started having in-person meetings again starting in April of 2022. They have also now resumed serving funeral lunches.
A spokesperson for the group said, “We are looking forward to celebrating ‘the family’ this fall as per Pope Francis’s ‘Year of The Family’ dedication this year.”
