2025 Annual Dinner Recap and Awards

Hosted by the Murrysville Chapter

The WBN Annual Dinner and Business Meeting at the Edgewood Country Club. Themed “Through The Looking Glass”, guests were encouraged to dress in imaginative apparel that one might wear to a Mad Hatter tea party, complete with a hat to be voted upon

Upon arrival attendees were encouraged to mingle by finding the person who matched matching their playing card. 

WBN President Denise Coburn delivered the Business Address, and the 2025 award winners were revealed, along with the 2025-2026 Service Project recipient, The Alzheimer’s Foundation of Greater Pittsburgh.

Mary Anne Kirby took time to recognize and honor long-time East Chapter member Donna Meshanko, who is retiring her networking career this year. An Independent Mary Kay Consultant, Donna joined WBN in 1990 and her presence will be sorely missed.

Thanks to the Murrysville Chapter for hosting a whimsical wonderland peering  though the looking glass!
