Lila McClanahan
AUGUST Citizen of the Month
What would the 4th of July be without the efforts of this month's Citizen of the Month, Lila
McClanahan? Many say that it would certainly be lacking in some of its' excitement. Lila is not
only a member of the Active Club which plans the parade and festivities, but is also the creative
force behind several of the floats each year. This year she helped plan and design the Lioness
Club float and designed and constructed the float for the Historical Society. Last year she
designed and built the floats for Home Extension and the Lioness Club. She has designed many
of the floats that have won ribbons in our parades. Lila along with the help of her husband Mac,
also designed and build several of the games that have been used by local organizations for the
4th of July and other events.
Lila is secretaiy of the Lioness Club, a member of Home Extension and the Big Butte Historical
Society, and an active church member. Along with finding time to perform the duties associated
with these organizations, Lila and Mac own and operate the Butte Falls Laundromat.
Lila is a long time Butte Falls resident, having grown up and attended school here. She has
always been a huge supporter of the Booster Club, even while living in Medford. She returned
to Butte Falls in 1979. Lila and Mac were instrumental in getting the town ball fields
constructed. The field was named to honor
Mac. As a Booster Club member, Lila

field. Lila has hosted the Annual Sports
Award Banquet. She likes to cheer on friends and relatives and travels long distances to attend
district and state playoffs.
As well as supporting sporting events, Lila has been on the Butte Falls Scholarship Committee
and helped with last years fund-raising dinner during the Forest Jubilee. She has been on the
School District Budget Committee and has been a Town Council member.
Lila is active in church, having helped with vacation bible school, the ladies tea, and has also
been a regular performer in the Christmas Cantata.
Lila and Mac are known for their friendly manner and willingness to share their time and
experiences. When you get a chance stop by the Totem Pole early some morning and spend a few
minutes over a cup of coffee getting to know these folks. It's neighbors like this that make Butte
Falls such a wonderful place to live.

....’’those were the days???”
