| The Minnora Community Center has added seven new board members
"adding strength and vitality to keep the center going," according to board
member Donna Jordan.
Longtime board member Larry Cottrell submitted his resignation during
Monday's meeting.
New members include Kenny Bailey, Molly Cain, Emma Deel, Steve Miller,
JoAnn Pauley, Janet Stewart and Jim White. They will join current members
Hershel Yost, Donna Jordan, Juanita Boggs and Phil Stevens, managing the
center.
"Their knowledge, skills and commitment should assure the center will be
run by the community, for the community," said Jordan.
The board discussed high utility bills and the need to conserve energy, in
addition to user agreements and rent paid by long term tenants.
A structure for using the facility on a daily basis was discussed, with a
range of pricing options. "The goal is to create a more reasonable option for
those looking for a facility to hold reunions, meetings, etc.," said Jordan.
The board will be organizing committees to plan and oversee activities, in
addition to looking at revising by-laws by the next meeting on December 2 at
7 p.m.
