Presentation of Community Ruby Award three years in the making
On Saturday, April 1, Judy Barkley will be awarded by Soroptimist International of Butler County in a recognition three years in the making.
Barkley initially was chosen to receive the Soroptimist’s Community Ruby Award in 2020 for her work with the Butler County Humane Society, but the annual Spring Fling luncheon was postponed due to COVID-19. She was not able to attend the luncheon in 2022, but the Soroptimists were adamant about recognizing Barkley.
Doors open for the Spring Fling fundraiser luncheon at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 1, at the Butler Country Club. Tickets are available for presale only, and can be purchased for $45 each by calling 724-321-1309 or 724-272-7935 until March 24.
