News from the Hardman
Community Center
The Hardman Com-
munity Center had a short
meeting at 5 p.m. on July 29
prior to Bob Allen’s retire-
ment potluck.
Fourteen members at-
tended. No minutes were
read, as all members had
received a copy of them
prior.
There is $4,130 in the
treasury account and all
paperwork is up-to-date.
Mel McDaniel gave an
update on the grant writing.
Five freestanding grants
have been applied for, but
the center won’t know until
December if it has received
any of them.
Sylvia Allen updated
members on her work with
the archives.
All of the photos have
new business card-sized
tags done on the computer
and are laminated. The next
step is to digitally record
the photos and match them
up to the tags and then
download it to jump drives
so there are multiple cop-
ies of the information. Her
daughter is helping her with
both projects.
Members also dis-
cussed the need to label and
photograph the antiques as
well.
In new business, HCC
received a $300 donation
from Snow McElligott and
a thank-you has been sent.
Bob Allen has updated the
ghost signs so he can put
them out when the hall is
open.
Allen also stated that
the charge of printing and
binding the History of
Hardman has gone up to
more than the center is
charging for the copies but
that he felt raising the price
in accordance will make
them unsalable.
Members discussed
printing the brochures on a
home computer and binding
them in a report cover, but
no decision was made.
There is also the option
of purchasing a printer for
hall use. Claudia Smythe
said she will check into the
cost of this.
Allen also requested
the HCC secretary update
an old brochure to replace
the History if need be,
which she said she would
attempt.
Certificates of Appre-
ciation were presented to
Rhonda Wright and Bob
Allen before the potluck.
The next meeting will be a
work day on the kitchen in
July, tentatively set for the
July 26 at 8 a.m.
4-H members show their
commitment to service
Part of the 4-H pledge is “My hands to larger service.” The members of the Grow ‘Em & Show
‘Em 4-H club have shown that, despite their club name, it’s not just about selling an animal
at fair for these kids. The group met at Turner Day Park recently to sand and re-stain the
picnic tables. Once the picnic tables were stained, members helped pick up garbage around
the park. After the work was complete, they all met at the Gibbs’ for a barbecue. L-R back:
