Dexter, Missouri - The SB40 Board honored two long-standing board members at their Thursday, May 18 meeting.
The SB40 Board is a local county board founded in 1968.
Once a tax levy was established in Stoddard County in 1976, the SB40 Board of Directors for the county was established and funding was provided for residential, vocational and other related programs and services for the mentally handicapped in Stoddard County.
As a result, the Sheltered Workshop came into being. The board represents both the Stoddard County ARC and the Workshop.
Joe Weber has served on the board since its inception, and Clay Prough for the past 20 years.
Both are shown with family members after Stoddard County Commissioner Greg Mathis presented them with a token of appreciation for their continued dedication and contributions to the developmentally disabled of Stoddard County.
At left are members of the Weber family, daughters, Beth Weber and Cynthia Chesser and grandsons, Austin and Matthew Chesser. Members of the Prough family at right include Ronie Brown, Dennis Keeling, Sandy Keeling, Marilyn Borden, and daughter, Nickki (seated at right).
