The Scranton Chapter of UNICO National, which is the largest Italian-American service organization in the USA, recently held its second golf tournament in at Blue Ridge Trails, Nanticoke. All proceeds from the tournament benefitted Ukraine refugee relief through St. Vladimir’s Ukrainian Catholic Church pastored by Father Myron Myronyuk. Grand Prize winner of a three day all- inclusive stay in Costa Rica was Don Mancuso.
The Dunmore Lions are extremely proud that Stephanie Juarez-Ventura has accepted membership in the organization. Stephanie is a recent graduate from Marywood University, where she earned a bachelor of fine arts degree, double majoring in graphic design and advertising and public relations. She will be pursuing a master’s degree in communication and leadership through Gonzaga University starting in the fall.
Ms. Juarez-Ventura currently works for the greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce as Communication Manager. Lion Stephanie volunteers with the NEPA Youth Shelter and the Endless Mountain Hot Air Balloons. She is currently training to run in the Steamtown Marathon in October.
The installation was recently held at the club headquarters in Dunmore. Over the years members have found that the Lions Club offers many opportunities for personal growth in the largest service organization in the world. An added benefit is the incomparable feeling you receive from volunteering.
