Volunteers announce retirement; council seeks sponsors to keep Rosebud Food Commodity Program running
Summary
Two longtime volunteers told the council they will step down after 15 years and asked for help finding new sponsors to keep the Rosebud Food Commodity Program serving roughly 60–70 families; the volunteers offered to remain as advisors during a transition.
Marcelene Creekmur and Marlene Rezac told the Gregory City Council that after 15 years they can no longer run the Rosebud Food Commodity Program and asked the city for help identifying new individuals or organizations to take over the work. "Their biggest fear is losing the program for the 60-70 families it benefits in our area," the minutes record.
The volunteers said they would remain in advisory roles to train successors if the council helps recruit new sponsors. Council members agreed to "put the word out and visit with other boards and groups in the area" to try to preserve program continuity. No formal motion or funding commitment was made at the April 7 meeting.
The council did not identify potential sponsors at the meeting; this item was recorded under public forum and will require follow-up with staff or community groups to determine next steps. The volunteers’ request and the council’s agreement to assist were entered into the meeting record as public comment.
