The Morris Beautification Board has elected new 2009 officers. They met for their annual breakfast on Dec. 1 at Shoney’s in Gardendale. The new officers are: Betty Wood, president; Nancy Cook, vice president; Dot Womack, vice president and Faye Crane, secretary/treasurer. They will have an open house and membership drive in February. I will have more info at a later date. The first meeting will be held sometime in March. The board is looking for new members, so anyone interested should contact Betty Wood at 647-0730. They are also looking for history on the City of Morris, so if there is anyone who may have any old history, you can also contact Betty. Look for the “Flower Power” float today in the Morris Christmas parade
