NAACP HONORS THE O’DONNELS

The Luzerne County NAACP branch #2306 held its annual Freedom Fund banquet on Saturday night at Mohegan Sun. I was very honored to nominate Cathy and Neil O’Donnell for the President’s Award given by the organization,

The award is named in honor of the long time President of the organization Ron Felton.

Wilkes-Barre Law and Library Association President Cheryl Sobeski Reedy presented the award to Mr. and Mrs. O’Donnell.

And of course there were pictures.

 

With Attorneys Catherine and Neil O'Donnell.

Senator Art Haywood was the keynote speaker.

Here's a fine group, Attorney Cheryl Sobeski Reedy. Mayor George Brown, your Vice President, me, David Yonki and your NAACP President Bill Browne, Atty. O'Donnell and Attorney Mary Deady.

Congressman Cartwright and his wife Attorney Marion Munley Cartwright confers with Senator Haywood.

These two ladies always make baskets for Democratic functions and other events in Wilkes-Barre. At this dinner both Torie Dunbar and Carin Pientka won baskets. Fitting for these two  great patriotic volunteers.
