Hope Kiwanis Club Donates To Purchase Scoreboard For Harry Hawthorne Field

The Hope Kiwanis Club recently donated $5,131 to the city of Hope for a new scoreboard for Harry Hawthorne Field.  Shown presenting the check to Parks Director Summer Powell are Kiwanis President Jimmy Courtney and former President Nathaniel Holyfield.

Harry Hawthorne was a charter member of the Hope Kiwanis Club in 1928.  He was the only charter member who was still active when the club celebrated its 65th anniversary in 1993.  Hawthorne owned and operated a grocery store/meat market in downtown Hope for many years and later served about 20 years as a county official.
