Society was held on Monday at Tannin Wine Bar East Main Street in historic downtown Marshalltown at 1 p.m. Mary Curley, owner, talked about the development of the establishment and the goals and future of the wine bar. The social was hosted by Ann Bresler with a tea committee of Nan Ryden, Marlys Smith and Karen Bursley.

Twenty-eight JU members and two guests helped celebrate Ryden’s 70th year of P.E.O. membership. She was initiated into Chapter DY Tipton in 1949, her mother’s chapter.

She presented her with a certificate and wine glass with gold & white ribbons holding a simple large daisy. Friends then enjoyed all the shareable food trays, drinks and conversation.
