HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIOLA!

One of our Life Members, Viola Opdahl, celebrated her 100th birthday on January 6th this year! Viola is a beloved retired schoolteacher and was an active League member for many years.  

 

Viola is a founding member of our Provisional League in 1959, which was granted full status in 1960. Issues in, those days, were the elimination of the Poll Tax and global children’s hunger.

 

She is also an important part of the Hurley Heritage Society and now resides at the Ivy Lodge in Saugerties.

We wish her all the best on this milestone!
