On July 24 at Heinz Field The FROGS (Friendly Rivalry Often Generates Success) Club held their centennial celebration. More than 300 members and guests attended the gala black tie event and enjoyed catching up with FROGS and friends.

The evening began with a reception with time for plenty of photo ops. Professional photographer Ahmad Sandidge was on hand to capture the moment for many couples and groups who wanted to have a special souvenir of the evening. After dinner and celebratory remarks from President Darryl Robinson, the FROGS queen and her court were presented.

QUEEN AND HER COURT—Jettie Fields, Carrington Motley, David Motley, Renee Motley, Lillie and Tom Motley, Maria Gonzalez and Chris Motley Jr.

BYOB. No, this is not the acronym for bring your own bottle. It stands for bring your own bag. If you bring your own bag to the grocery store you help save the environment.

Frankly, I think this is a ploy to sell more of the cloth-like bags that you should bring with you. You get to the end of the checkout and realize that you didn’t bring a bag so you buy one and the next time you forget that one, too. Try leaving them in the car. Better yet, write yourself a note and put it on the dashboard and hopefully you will remember.

Duquesne resident Kenya Owens enjoyed the joyous music delivered by the choir, the camaraderie between the people in attendance and the uplifting word of God that was delivered during the sixth annual Clairton Community Picnic.

Owens, who attended the yearly gathering at the invitation of his girlfriend, Clairton resident Twila Boswell, was glad to participate.
