Greetings!
Another year is coming to a close. The MCB Board would like to thank each community betterment organization that is working to make their community successful by participating in MCB.
This year we were pleased to have 46 communities participate in the judging competition. We had communities that did not participate this year that are in the planning process so they will be ready to enter competition next year. We had new communities that decided to enter the competition for the first time and some were award winners. Congratulations to all, everyone of you are a winner!
Several communities that have been inactive for a number of years have requested assistance in getting back into the MCB process. We have been able to match these communities up with a mentoring community to help them along for the first year.
More communities that are learning about MCB have requested a site visit to hear about our services and resources. Please let Jan Simon know if she can be of assistance to your community.
