Susan & Bill Hogan (below) along with
Bob Gaudio (in Yemen at right) will be at Lunch With Books at the Ohio County Public Library on Tuesday March 8 at noon to mark the
fiftieth anniversary of the Peace Corps. Tracing its roots and mission to 1960, when then
Sen. John F. Kennedy challenged students to volunteer to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries, the Peace Corps grew into a federal government agency devoted to world peace and friendship established in 1961 under director
Sargent Shriver. Since then, more than 200,000 Americans have joined the Peace Corps, serving in 139 countries. Susan and Bob will invite Wheeling volunteers to share their experiences.
Lunch With Books programs are free and open to the public. Patrons are invited to bring a bag lunch and free beverages are provided. Please call the library at 304-232-0244 for more information.
