Cindy Fieg Receives Service Award

This past January, several members of the Ste. Genevieve (Mo.) Women's Club were recognized for their service to the community.  Among them was Cindy Haney Fieg, wife of Fieg cousin Richard Fieg

Among the myriad acts of community service in its 66 years of existence, this remarkable club has planted 100 trees that now shade Pere Marquette City Park, supported tourism in the city by conducting tours of the Bolduc House and running the gift shop. They have supported local students with various scholarships totaling over $117,000 and offered many other opportunities to enhance education.

The club has donated cash and in-kind gifts equivalent to more than $130,000 to an institution for girls in crisis called Girls Town in Fulton, Mo., and helped raise $75,000 for the Girls Town sewer system in 2008.

The January meeting highlighted the International Outreach Programs which has raised thousands of dollars for Heifer International, which helps impoverished communities make a new start, and Operation Smile that offers cleft palate surgery to children.

Cindy was among eight recipients of the club's five year service award, presented at the close of the meeting.  Well done, Cindy!
