Light turnout for town hall meeting

Roughly 1% of Butler residents were in attendance for the town hall meeting last night. The forum, which lasted about two hours, covered a variety of topics including a proposed 1 percent sales tax, fixing infrastructure, new businesses, wages, streets, and much more.

A hearty thank you to those who attended; for those who didn't, the city council meets at 7 pm tonight at city hall.

Editor's note- It's saddening that only about 40 people out of a population of about 4,000 took the time to attend this meeting. Yes, we understand you might have a lot going on; so if you simply couldn't attend for other reasons, just remember the council meets on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month and everyone is highly encouraged to attend.

The Hume Fair Board is still seeking Royalty Candidates for the 2019 Annual Hume Fair to be held July 30 though August 3. Deadline is June 9 for sign up. Please contact Heather Rogers, Denise Steuck, Erika Irwin or Karen Irwin or contact us on our face book page.

The Hume Alumni was held on Saturday evening, May 25. Attendance was down a little with 98 signing the register book. Everyone enjoyed looking at the Annuals that were placed throughout on the tables. The Garden Club as usual did a beautiful job with table decorations. Our servers did a great job keeping our drinks filled and our little napkin servers did a great job making sure everyone had plenty of napkins. Kathy Hester of Sisters and Friends and also a Hume Alumni catered the delicious meal. Unfortunately this was the last year she will cater it, we appreciate all the years she has provided our meal for the Alumni. 

Norann Brooks was honored on Saturday evening for serving as Secretary the past 17 years. And of course everyone always enjoys the 50/50 and the gift certificate drawings that our held. A great time was held with lots of visiting and reminiscing.
