Hello? This is Kim. 📞

Congratulations to the Charlie’s Angels actresses on their 50th anniversary! Just like the angels, I am grateful for all of the courageous women in my life who have the resilience to break barriers to serve others.
Fun at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh with my grand angels. ❤️ Obviously, my daughter-in-law had fun too! 🤣 It’s a wonderful place for kids!
I had a great time at the Dryridge Volunteer Fire Department banquet last Saturday. I was honored to thank the selfless volunteers from the department, along with volunteers from the Marguerite Fire Department, for their service to the community. Thank you Mike and Gina O’ Barto for saving me a seat! 🙂
Celebrating all the women in PA who work hard for Pennsylvanians & their communities. 

It’s an honor to serve & work with all of these bright & beautiful women every day. #womenshistorymonth
