To illustrate the success of the Boardman program, Parker related the story who had been working at ConAgra foods in Board- man for six years. The woman took the homebuyer education class and then purchased a home through the program. “She came up and hugged me and said there was no way she could have purchased a home without taking the class,” Parker told the board. “So we re- ally are helping people.” 2015 GRADUATION- W e have G ift C ards , d eCor & M uCh M ore !
