Mayor Roger Clark proclaims Dorothy Anne Richard’s 100th birthday; council promotes car show

Mayor Roger Clark read a proclamation recognizing Dorothy Anne Richard for celebrating her 100th birthday on May 13, 2026, praising her long volunteer service and contributions to the community and directing Councilman Rainey to deliver the proclamation to her home.

"I, Roger Clark, mayor of the village of Asheville, Ohio, do hereby recognize and honor Dorothy Anne Richard for celebrating her 100th birthday on May the 13th, 2026," the mayor read as part of the proclamation text recorded in the meeting.

Later in the council comments, Jesse announced the Ashville Business Association's second annual car show scheduled for June 6 at the park (200 East Station Street), from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event is free to attend and last year drew close to "40 or 50" vehicles, Jesse said.

Council members thanked the mayor for the proclamation and Councilman Rainey volunteered to drop the proclamation off at Dorothy Richard's home the following day. No formal action beyond the proclamation was recorded.
