After a lengthy hiatus because of coronavirus pandemic precautions and restrictions in place, the Kiwanis Club of Steubenville plans to resume in-person luncheon meetings with the first gathering set for March 9. It will be held at noon in a new location — the Sycamore Youth Center at 301 N. Fourth St., Steubenville. The meeting announcement by club President Ted Gorman came in an e-mail news message to members. The weekly Tuesday noon luncheon meetings will be held in the basement of the center. The guest speaker will be state Rep. Ron Ferguson, R-Wintersville. There also will be a brief business meeting. Social distancing will be observed and masks worn. Those planning to attend should RSVP by March 5 to phyllisr66@aol.com.
