Arning donates $5,000 to golf course

On Flag Day on June 14, Arning hosted the third annual Fred Arning Senior Golf Tournament. This year’s tournament fell just two weeks after the Cassville Golf Club lost over 50 trees during the Memorial Day storm in Cassville. Arning was determined to give back more than the years before. Thanks to every participant and sponsor, Arning was able to achieve this goal. “We are thrilled to announce that the tournament successfully raised $5,000, which has been donated back to the golf course, said Angie Edie, Arning vice president of human resources. “A heartfelt thank you to all the golfers, sponsors and volunteers who helped make the tournament a great success.”

Exeter Holiday Joy Food Drive exceeds goal again!

Exeter students, parents, teachers, staff and PTO worked together again this year to collect and distribute 23 food baskets and cases of water to local families in need of assistance during the 2023 holiday season. Exeter collected just over 2,000 non-perishable items last year to meet its goal, so this year it set 2,500 as the goal to collect. Participants brought in 2,874 items, thanks to classes competing to be the biggest “givers!” The winning class in the elementary was Mr. McNabb’s third-grade class, bringing in over 1,000 items. With only 13 students in the class, that was just over 97 items per student brought in, since that is the fairest way to calculate the donations based on class size. The eighth-grade class won the Middle/High School competition, bringing in 7 items per student in their class of 21 students, totaling 149 items donated. The students in those classes celebrated their big hearts on Dec. 21, 2023, with pizza parties courtesy of Pizza Hut of Cassville. Pizza Hut also recognized six of the top charitable students with certificates for Personal Pan pizzas.
