Women's Club of Adena will celebrate their 75th year, April 28, 2012
The Women's Club of Adena recently celebrated their 75th year. An elegant reception of approximately 60 people including community leaders and business owners attended the affair held at the Adena Community Center on April 28th. Club President Teresa Ludwig, and GFWC/OFWC Chairwoman Evelyn Bachmann officiated a special recognition of 50 years plus members. Ruby Gosnell a 60 year member, Ruth Somerville (50 years), and Pat Thompson who is actively participating in the club for almost 50 years, were awarded a certificate and they all held offices of past president.
The Adena Women's club received a letter and award for their diligence and survivorship of 75 years.
Established in 1936, with a motto of Influence is Responsibility, the non-profit society is renowned for their commitment to the education of women, women's health, literacy, arts, and involvement in international and public affairs. The General Federation of Women's Clubs began nationally in 1898 when Jane Cunningham Crowley, a New York City professional journalist wanted to cover a dinner at an all-male press club honoring British novelist, Charles Dickens. Croley was told that women were not welcome. In response, she formed the Sorosis Club for Women that same year that later became presently known today as the General Federation of Women's Clubs.
Today, they ban child labor, proficiently donate to local parks, endorse education, establish and distribute scholarships, founded the FDA, propagate domestic violence awareness, founded the American Library Association and
strongly support the community of Adena and US Overseas soldiers.
The Adena Women's Club has eighteen active members and though they are miniscule in membership, their volunteerism proves very voluminous.
Golden Wave Souvenier Found. Tony Eason, from Poplar Bluff, Missouri, just contacted Adena News with information that he found a watch that was in his grandfather's possesion. Inscripted
on the back, it reads: "Adena Golden Wave Runner Up, Ohio Valley Chapter, October 1, 1931, C.A.T. If anyone knows who this watch belongs to, or who the initals C.A.T. may belong to, please email me.
 A quick tip to keep heart helathy is to be aware your pain because it isn't always chest pain. There are many different types of heart irregularities, that trigger "attacks" however most of the
symptoms are silent killlers. If you are out and about, and experiencing pain, pay attention
to even a slight heartburn, chest pressure / congestion, or shortness of breath and don't hesitate to ask someone for help. In most public facilities Automatic External Defbrillators [AED] are available, simple to use, and save many lives.
An AED is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia in a patient.
It treats them through defibrillation, which is the application of electrical therapy which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to reestablish an effective rhythm.
The AED helped Adena dweller Chester (Snook) Masloski "rebound" after having a heart attack while watching his grandaughter's basketball
game at Big Red in Steubenville. He asked Adena News to share and be aware of the warning signs. Thanks Snook!
Adena Organizations and Businesses are updated.

Beer.....belongs, enjoy it. Beer is America's beverage of moderation.
In the home loving land of ours, in this America of kindliness of friendship and good
humored tolerance--perhaps no beverages are more at home than good American beer and ale. Beer is the kind of beverages Americans like. It belongs
to pleasant living, good fellowship, to sensible moderation and our right to enjoy it! This too, belongs to our American heritage of personal freedom.

Sarah Speaks. The Adena News Editor was gifted a grave stone in 2004 weeks after the flood and the inscription has been researched and is revealed.
It reads: Sarah E., Wife of Nimrod Stevens died October 27, 1861 In her 25th year.
Wherein this family my wife lies,
Her Spirit awake above,
In calm of bliss it never dies,
But immortal in shining love.
 Adena's First Avon Lady - Jennie Shields walked all over town in the early 1930s with
a simple black case containing dress material for Mitchell and Church Company. She took orders and delivered the goods herself.
She later sold cosmetics for California Perfume Company that later became known as AVON. She sold products until 1942.
 The First Adena Motorcycle gang was THE FLYING ACES. In 1935, this group of 32 men from Adena, Barton, Maynard, Mt. Pleasant
and Smithfield rode the roads on their magnificent motorcycles.
