The Awards Banquet was the highlight of the 44th conference which assists communities to improve their quality of life. Nearly 350 volunteers, community leaders and youth from across the state were in attendance.
The city of Jameson won the Grand Prize over the other 46 communities that entered this year. MCB judges and Board members were impressed with the overall number and level of projects that were completed using a variety of community resources, and for completing projects that were prioritized in their own community survey.
Other winners in their population groups were: Grant City, Cabool, Higginsville, Eldon and Maryville.
“The Missouri Community Betterment Board congratulates all the winners and participants,” MCB President Janie Dunning said. “Because of these dedicated individuals and organizations, Missouri communities will continue to be a place where our children can, and want, to come back to live.”
The Awards Banquet is an integral part of the MCB program, which is administered by the Missouri Community Betterment Educational Fund, Inc. MCBEF is a not-for-profit organization made up of businesses, public utilities, community representatives, federal and state agencies and individuals.
