Also during the meeting, adult volunteer Desiree Leacock and youth volunteer Kyra Nehls were honored. Incoming board members Julie Aul, Marcus Hedgepeth, and Sarah Smith Pitts were recognized.
Board member Perry Melton said the “Cirque du Soiree” fundraiser will include acrobats and other circus-themed entertainment. “It’s going to be the most fun, most exciting fundraiser this town has ever seen,” he said.
