Community Club

The Alhambra Community Club met Monday, Jan. 25 at Maedge's Restaurant with 25 members being present.

Club president John Ernst called the meeting to order with the Pledge of Allegiance.

The secretary and treasurer’s reports were read and approved. Secretary Schoen read thank-you notes from the Gloria Henschen family, Carol Dauderman family and the Zacszewski family and for donations to the Bread of Life Food Pantry and the Highland Food Pantry.

Principal Cindy Tolbert of Alhambra Primary sent a thank-you note for the supplies the club sent to the individual classes and the class that wanted the clay pots that were sent.

A letter from Boy Scout Tyler Reinhardt was read. He is working on getting his Eagle Scout promotion and is trying to earn $700 to put a concrete bench with a ceramic tile inlaid of a chess board at the park. The club voted to send him $75 toward his project.

The awards for the best Christmas display went to Pat Hinton and Richard and Julie Jett for their wonderful decorations that were put up by Randy Take. The home owners will each receive a check for $25 from the Community Club.

In other business, it was brought up that so far no one has applied for the scholarship. Ashley said she would put the papers up on the restaurant, so they would be available to anyone who qualifies.
