The Clinton County Historical Society announced its Clinton County Gems Class of 2018 Sunday afternoon at the Clinton County Historical Museum on the second floor of Old Stoney.
The County Gems for 2018 are Mary Padgett, Jane Knapp, Phoebe Smith, Marshall Smith, Pat Burkhalter, Joy Hilgenhold, Joe Hilgenhold, Louann Mitchell, Anne Himmelwright, Kermit McGarey, Peggy Bachman and Gerald Bachman. Also recognized was Angie Rogers from the Class of 2016.
Clinton County Gems are persons whom: serve, volunteer and generously share their time, talents and resources. Our “Gems” shine brightly in the community; they fill void, pick up the slack and share the loads of many. “Gems” lead by example, often behind the scenes, assisting with challenges, and making a difference in the lives of the citizenry of Clinton County.
The Clinton County Historical Society is dedicated to preserving the Heritage of Clinton County.
A reception for the Gems was held following the event.
