Medallion Ball 2003 Mary Lynne Spazok
Congratulations to the 19 Medallion Ball honorees of Upper
St. Clair! The 40th Medallion Ball, led by His Excellency Reverend Donald W. Wuerl Catholic Bishop of Pittsburgh, was held at the Hilton Ballroom on Friday, November 28. Saint Lucy’s Auxiliary to the Blind acknowledged 112 young women. The inspiring mission of St. Lucy’s is to encourage a lifetime commitment of volunteer service—a praiseworthy tradition of loving care. St. Lucy’s Auxiliary, founded in 1957, engages in and sponsors projects and activities that ultimately benefit and assist Pittsburgh Vision Services. This agency was born from the merger of the Greater Pittsburgh Guild for the Blind and the Pittsburgh Blind Association. The undertaking of this union is “to reduce the limitations that may result from loss of vision.” They take great pride in recognizing high school seniors and graduates who have made significant contributions to their community and have shown an unselfish willingness to share. Having performed at least 100 hours of volunteer service, young women of all faiths have been awarded the celebrated Joan of Arc Medallion. Photography was provided by Rocky Raco Studio.
