CLINTON TOPS COMMUNITY BETTERMENT AWARDS
Thirty
eight communities and 12 individuals were honored at the Missouri Community
Betterment (MCB) conference in Jefferson City. The Awards Banquet was the
highlight of the 48th conference which assists communities to improve their
quality of life. Nearly 325 volunteers, community leaders and youth from
across the state were in attendance.
The city
of Clinton won the Gene Speichinger Community of the Year Award over the
other 36 communities that entered this year. MCB judges and Board members
were impressed with the overall number and level of projects that were
completed using a variety of community resources, and for completing
projects that were prioritized in their own community assessment. Other
winners in their population groups were: South Iron-Annapolis, Grant City,
Steelville, Cabool, and Higginsville.
“The
Missouri Community Betterment Board congratulates all the winners and
participants,” MCB President Kathleen Bruegenhemke said. “Because of these
dedicated individuals and organizations, Missouri communities will continue
to be a place where our children can, and want, to come back to live.”
The
Awards Banquet is an integral part of the MCB program, which is administered
by the Missouri Community Betterment Educational Fund. MCBEF is a
not-for-profit organization made up of businesses, public utilities,
community representatives, federal and state agencies and individuals.
