The Ohio Valley Business and Professional Women’s Club held its annual Wine and Shoe Extravaganza at St. Florian Hall in Wintersville, Jefferson County. This event is a fundraiser for local scholarships, with three scholarships awarded each year to support the cost of education. The scholarships are available to Ohio Valley seniors pursuing education at a college or trade school, as well as to women returning to school after leaving the workforce.
Amelia Taggart, a member of OVBPW, explained that the scholarships aim to support women who may have taken a break from education or have decided to pursue a new career path. The organization is committed to helping these women achieve their educational goals by providing financial assistance.
