Thank you to all who participated in the 80th anniversary celebration and annual meeting by voting and or attending the event on June 22 at the Decatur County Fairgrounds. I thought it was a great time and I enjoyed speaking with so many of you.

We experienced a record voter response, more than double that of years past. It appears that the new early voting option was a big hit. If you weren’t able to join us, allow me to share a few quick facts from the meeting including the newly elected directors and nominating committee members:

Votes received – 1,516
