On Apr. 26, the Maxwelton Ruritan Club participated in the Adopt A Highway program and picked up trash along 219 North of Lewisburg. Along with 20 bags of trash, the members were disappointed to find many discarded face masks along the side of the highway. The club was happy to get the opportunity to help make the area more beautiful, since they were unable to participate last year due to COVID.
The Maxwelton Ruritan Club is civic organization that has been serving the local area since 1953. The members operate an ice cream concession stand at the State Fair of WV and all proceeds benefit the local community including donations to local organizations and provide two scholarships to area high school seniors. We strive to make our area a better place to live, work and raise a family.
The club meets the fourth Thursday of each month at the Henning Church of God on Vago Road. If you would like to attend an upcoming meeting, please email ldbowman84@hotmail.com. We would love to meet you and tell you about Ruritan. You can also follow us on Facebook.
