FIVE MINNORA CENTER BOARD MEMBERS RESIGN - Jordan Says Public Meeting Will Be Held

(10/17/2002)
Five official board members of the Minnora Community Center have resigned their positions, according to Donna Jordan. Jordan, one of the four or five remaining board members, said she received a letter of resignation this week from President Wanda Richards, Vice-President Rose Jarvis, Freda Whytsell, Gene Hicks and Dormal Ewing.

Jordan said "We have some serious concerns about the financial records."

Wanda Richards told the Herald (see 9/11/02) she would be resigning after months of conflict with opposing board members, expressing her longtime dedication to the project.

Board member Larry Cottrell and other dissenting members had called for Richards to resign on several occasions, charging her with improper management of the center. The conflict was often heated.

Board member Jordan said a community meeting will be held soon to reorganize the board. "We hope to find some interested people to help with this worthwhile effort," she said.

Jordan has become certified to test and treat the center's water system.
