We want to wish PEGGS a very big CONGRATULATIONS for celebrating 25 years!! And having the great honor of receiving a Key to the City of South Bend! So well deserved!

We’re incredibly proud of our fearless leader, Peg Trew Dalton, on celebrating 25 years of PEGGS and receiving a Key to the City of South Bend from Mayor James Mueller!

Mayor Mueller shared that this honor is given to those who have a community impact, been a great ambassador for the city or worked for the city for over 20 years, and we’re honored that Peg’s passion, leadership, and love for this community have been recognized in such a meaningful way. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey with us!
