Happy Valley Times

State Representative Mike Armanini (R-Elk/Clearfield) has formally recognized the retirement of Cecilia Bienkowski, who has served in the Elk County Assistance Office for 34 years. Rep. Armanini presented her with a citation from the Pennsylvania House of Representatives to honor her dedication and contributions to the community.
