57^th Annual Meeting

The District’s 57^th Annual Meeting was held at the Hendricks County 4-H Fairgrounds and Conference Center in Danville on January 27, 2009.  The meeting began with the meal catered by Sandy Moore Catering and was attended by approximately 76 people from Hendricks County, with a few visitors thrown in.  Jim Loughmiller presided over the annual meeting.

The business part of the meeting is to report about the activities of the District and to provide a financial statement.  Please look for the Annual Report insert in this newsletter in case you missed the meeting.  Also an election was held.  Jack Nelson of Union Township was re-elected to a three-year term as Supervisor.  Hendricks Circuit Court Judge, Jeffrey V. Boles handled the oath-of-office ceremony  picture.

A good time was had by all!
