CENTERVILLE —
The Exline Ramblers met and hosted their annual soup “Appreciation” dinner on Sunday, Nov. 4 at 5 p.m. at the Exline City Hall.
The meeting was called to order by President, Skyler Lawson.
Lawson provided a recap of our activities that the Ramblers have accomplished for last year, some noted were the benches at the Appanoose County Fair, Adopt-A-Highway trash pickups, and the memory scrapbook for the family of Sgt. Master Travis Riddick.
The prayer was given by Dr. Jaren Tubaugh.
