Cainsville Community Betterment Stay informed about our current and upcoming projects, as well as, make suggestions and submit ideas for future projects. Thank you for checking us out!

This is the official page for the Cainsville Community Betterment Committee of Cainsville, MO. On March 11, 2004, the future Cainsville Community Betterment Committee met with Dean Larkin, University Outreach & Extrension Community Development Specialist, to form by-laws and a mission statement. The Cainsville Community Betterment was organized on April 12th, 2004, by former Mayor Larry F

ox, with nine members. In 2006 we filed for 501c-3 (nonprofit) , and became tax exempt on June 30th, 2006. We joined the Missouri Community Betterment Organization in 2011. Current members of the committee are Amy Chandler (President), Louise Kellner (Secretary/Treasurer), Larry Polly, Dawn King, Kendra Euritt and Laura Crofutt. We intend to use this page to keep the community updated on the progress of the projects we are currently working on and to inform them of ideas for future projects. We also wish to allow the community to use this page as a forum for offering praise/criticism, submitting ideas for projects, asking questions, and communicating directly with the committee. We are extremely grateful for the immense support we have received from the community and hope to use this page to express our appreciation.
