GREENVILLE – The Greenville Business & Professional Women’s Club will feature two speakers, Shadia Jallaq and Susan Manchester, for its September meeting.

The meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 13 in the Brick Room at the Brethren Retirement Community located at 750 Chestnut, Greenville.

Legislative committee members, Gail Snyder (chair), Betty Kosier, Diane Delaplane, Peggy Foutz, Kasey Christian and Jennifer Fleagle will host the meeting.

Manchester (R-Waynesfield) is running for state representative of Ohio’s 84th House District and has received the endorsement of U.S. Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).
