President Reuben kicked off the July picnic meeting. He thanked the July 4th committee for our 250 Celebration. It was a wonderful event (in spite of the heat).
Our program was Paige Counts, Public Information Officer at Caldwell County. Paige announced a $100,000 state grant for repair of our Hard and Flossie Clark Family Park. Thanks to our state representative Senator Ralph Hise.
Paige described a recent history display at the county office building. She then asked for volunteers to play a game. The 3 teams had to answer trivia questions about the surrounding area, with answers such as The Globe and 1841.
Our August meeting will have our scholarship winners. And we welcomed new members Mike and Karen Whipple. Congrats to them!
Photos include the July 4th committee--Vickie Miller, Kirsti Shatley, Ron Vance & Loryn Rader; Paige and her trivia players; and Mike & Karen.
