sponsored by the Community Action Network. The goal of the organization is
to create a positive community image, preserve historic community assets,
attract new businesses, develop visually appealing buildings and
streetscape and increase sales and revenue for the community.
The organization is funded through its membership dues, private donations
and various fundraising events. The annual membership is $10. Regular
meeting date is every other month beginning in January on the 2nd Thursday
at 12:00 noon.
