Malvern Prepares for Centennial Planning Meeting
Malvern council passed two traffic and driving ordinances to be published on the back page. Congressman Bill Scherle attended a JayCee dinner in Harlan and spoke at the American Legion’s 60th anniversary in Coapel Bluffs. The closing of Bob's Call left local groups without a venue for Tuesday dinners, prompting Hillsdale church ladies to host meetings. Malvern’s Centennial tempo rises as March 19 community meeting is set, with Mayor George Curtis Jr. planning a Thursday session and Emerson planning a centennial event to keep residents informed. Hastings also gears up for major Centennial plans to inform its renders.
