The Clarksburg Lions Club met on Friday, July 28 at Brickside at noon for their semimonthly meeting. The meeting was called to order and the group was led in prayer followed by a salute to the flag.

 

Al Cox introduced Tiffany Fell as the speaker for the meeting. Tiffany Fell is the new city manager of Clarksburg.  She comes to us from Florida but previously was from Canada.  The mother of 10 children, the family resides in the Broad Oaks area of Clarksburg.  It is anticipated the children will attend Emmanuel Christian School.

 

After listing changes she would like to see in the city, she feels that homeless individuals create a problem for the city as well as other problems. She is aware of the need to attract new businesses to the city, in particular the downtown.

 

She currently is heading up a movement to create a water project at the Veteran’s Administration Park, which might include kayaking and a pier for activity.  She is also creating a newsletter for local residents.

 

Following her remarks, a question-and-answer session opened.  She advised the group that she is open to meeting with groups and is open to receiving concerns of local citizens.

 

For individuals interested in joining the Clarksburg Lions Club please contact Al Cox or any member.  The group meets twice monthly at the Brickside.

 

Stay healthy and cool and until next week “Now You Have Heard It Through the Grapevine.”
