http://howefamilydentistry.com/
New officers (L-R): President Donna Wormsbaker, Executive Director Becky Hogenson, Vice President Curt Beckemeyer, and Secretery Leandra Beckemeyer. (Not pictured: Starr Stanley, treasurer). Responsibilities were shuffled last Monday night at the monthly Keep Howe Beautiful meeting. Donna Wormsbaker transferred her title of Executive Director to Becky Hogenson. Wormsbaker then was elected president of the organization. Former President Curt Beckemeyer's term ended which the board then named him vice president. Leandra Beckemeyer was voted as the new secretary and Starr Stanley retained her position as treasurer. Keep Howe Beautiful formed in 2013 as an affiliate of Keep Texas Beautiful. The volunteer group maintains the flower beds in downtown, the Howe marquee at the corner of Haning Street and Collins Freeway, as well as many other areas throughout Howe.
Each April, Keep Howe Beautiful participates in the Texas Trash Off which is designated to clean up each city by way of picking up trash. The group collected 25 bags of trash in 2017 and roughly the same in 2016. A lot of the trash comes from the Dollar General area and KHB would like to express to the public to please dispose of trash properly. Keep Howe Beautiful also maintains Memorial Park on Denny Street and will soon upgrade Summit Gardens with $5,000 worth of beautification on the premises. Those interested in joining Keep Howe Beautiful can contact Monte Walker at mwalker@cityofhowe.org.
Keep Howe Beautiful Board Members (L-R): Marylin Keller, Sheri Folkes, Donna Wormsbaker, Becky Hogenson, Mary Anne Marquez, Curt Beckemeyer, Leandra Beckemeyer, Monte Walker. (Not pictured: Mary Stonebarger, and Starr Stanley)
