The All School Reunion will be held at the New Edinburg Community Center on April 18. Mrs. Frankie Hall had previously provided raffle items for the event but has passed away.

Patricia McClellan made a motion, seconded by Linda Hornaday, to spend no more than $300 on items to be used for a raffle, to purchase cupcakes for the event and tablecloths plus beads for decor. The $300 will be taken from the reunion account. Vicky Haycox will prepare name tags.

Re-New-ing Edinburg is once again participating in the Great American spring trash pickup and various members have already begun trash pickup. The flower boxes in downtown are being repaired and will be planted prior to the All School Reunion as a part of the spring cleanup.

Patricia McClellan advised the group she received information that a Cleveland County Clean Up Day has been scheduled for May 2 and she passed around the informational brochure. She asked if anyone was interested in coordinating a trash pickup in New Edinburg on that day as several members are already participating in another event on that day. With no one available, it will be tabled until the April 21st meeting.

Patricia McClellan advised the group that the last four bricks for the Veterans Park had been placed on order and should be delivered any day. At this time, there are no plans to extend the Veterans Park. Roger McClellan had purchased a new POW flag and another larger flag for the park and their costs were reimbursed by the treasurer.

The Community Center BBQ held on March 14 was deemed a success. An auction was held at the event.

Those in attendance were also reminded that the runoff election for the Cleveland County Judge and Arkansas Secretary of State will be held Tuesday (March 31) and five members of Re-New-ing Edinburg will be working early voting the week of the junk hunt plus working the polls on March 31.

At the February meeting, an Easter Egg Hunt was scheduled for April 4, which is the day before Easter and the weekend after the junk hunt. A motion was made by Patricia McClellan and seconded by Linda Hornaday, to cancel the Easter egg hunt this year. The motion passed.
