Last Thursday night was the first meeting of the latest edition of the DeWitt County Board and their leader is looking forward to working with the new member.

Nate Ennis, Dan Matthews and Travis Houser participated in their first full Board meeting Thursday. Board Chair David Newberg thanks the former board members and says the new board members have all jumped right in ready to learn.

Newberg calls the three new board members "intelligent young men" noting it can take some time to get a complete understanding of how the county board operates.

Cris Rogers, Randy Perring and Sue Whitted are the departing members of the DeWitt County Board.
