COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR MINNORA CENTER LACKING - "It Is Really Disappointing"

(01/10/2004)
"It is really disappointing," said former Minnora Community Center president Donna Jordan, whose resignation was effective this week.

Jordan had called for community volunteers to come to a meeting last Tuesday to help with the center, but "Only one person besides myself showed up." She said several of the current board members had problems which prevented their attendance.

Jordan said not enough board members had attended during the past four months to vote on issues.

"The center really needs some volunteer support, even though it is hanging in there financially and the bills are paid. The last flea market was a huge success," she said.

Kenny Bailey, the vice-president, has assumed the leadership role.

Jordan, who resigned because of some new commitments, said she is still helping with the center.

"Another wrestling match is coming up and the annual ramp dinner is being planned."

"The center needs help," she concluded.
