Theressa Hoover Historical Marker Update – Commissioner Allured: Commissioner Allured
reported that many out of town guests are expected and invitations have been or will be
circulated to many groups. The event is also being posted on community calendars, and her
interview should air on Ozarks at Large next week. Remarks will begin outdoors and continue in
the fellowship hall. The ceremony will be followed by a lunch reception. This is for next

Commissioner Allured is available for questions, and the phone number on the flyer is for the
church.

Henderson School Historic Marker Update: Bostick shared photos from the site visit and
compared the two size options and heights. Commissioners generally favored the smaller, 18” x
24” size and the stainless steel design with photo. Bostick proposed to seek pricing and bring
the information to the March meeting for consideration.

be complete early next month and expects to share the final version at the March meeting.
