# Lackawanna County Commission For Women Legislative Breakfast 10-8-26

The Lackawanna County Commission for Women’s legislative breakfast was held October 8, 2026, and marked the return of the event after the COVID-19 pandemic. The program recognized the service of the late Sister Marilla Farfour and Maureen Pezzovento, presented the Wright Center with a nonprofit-of-the-year recognition, and featured remarks from Pennsylvania State Senator Rosemary Brown. Wright Center CEO Dr. Linda Thomas described the organization’s community health and medical workforce-development work, including plans to open new service locations in Dunmore and on the Morgan Highway; she also cited a $1 million federal grant awarded in 1976 that helped establish its residency program.

No contract awards, solicitations, vendor selections, procurement votes, or spending approvals were identified. The facility and service expansions were described as organizational updates, not procurement actions.
