Main Street, Trappe, PA. | Women in Pennsylvania—the PA Women’s Health Caucus wants to hear from you!

The group of talented women visited to celebrate both National Tap Day (May 25) and Juneteenth (June 19) and gave an outstanding performance in the East Wing Rotunda. The Lady Hoofers are a Philadelphia-based nonprofit group who highlight the importance of our arts, while also serving as mentors in the community—offering free lessons, free tap shoes and program assistance to local students. I was glad to see a few of my colleagues stop by, including Rep. Paul Friel. | I'm grateful that Dr. Janine Darby, and her husband, Chad, include me each year in the DEI Task Force's Juneteenth celebration. This year marked the fifth anniversary of the nonprofit organization.
