WVURA Annual Picnic
Sunday, September 28, 2025
Retirees gathered at their annual picnic at the Westside Senior Center on Sunday, September 28, 2025. In addition to the food and drink, there were giveaway prizes and a raffle. This year there was a collection of food donations for the Scott's Run Backpack Feeding Program. Donations to the program have been sparse but retirees were generous and hopefully we were able to feed hungry school children in Monongalia County.

The September book was The Demon of Unrest by Erik Larson. This book is about the five months between the election of Abraham Lincoln and the start of the Civil War, a period marked by tragic errors and miscommunications, inflamed egos and craven ambitions, personal tragedies and betrayals. Lincoln himself wrote that the trials of these five months were “so great that, could I have anticipated them, I would not have believed it possible to survive them.” (blurb from Amazon)
Rosenbaum House Family Dinner
Monday, August 25, 2025
Family House was a dream turned into a reality for Morgantown businesswoman Hilda Rosenbaum. Her vision for the house was to create a “home away from home” for families facing a medical crisis. This year the Rosenbaum House celebrated Hilda’s 100th birthday by offering 100 Meals in 100 Days. As part of our philanthropic efforts and in support of Rosenbaum Family House, the Retirees Association provided dinner for the residents during the 100 days We had members volunteer to help in the kitchen, members who spent time with residents, and those who brought desserts. The place was packed and dinner was a success.
