| Bentworth Community Center receives award |
The Bentworth Community Center houses the library, the senior center and the Bentleyville Area Historical Society. The elevator system will provide easy access between the two floors of the building for disabled individuals and for the senior population. This accessibility will enable all three community organizations to function, not only independently, but with greater interaction, thus helping them to grow, solidify and enhance their programs.
District 14-M and the Bentleyville, Scenery Hill, Eighty Four Lion Clubs, the Bentleyville Lioness Club and the Bentworth LEO Club submitted the request for the Humanitarian Service Grant after collectively amassing $ 4,660 in contributions from their clubs for the elevator project.
