LEEDS – The Rural Community Action Ministry will hold its 33rd annual meeting on Monday, Sept. 15, at its offices at 81 Church Hill Road.

The agenda includes a regular meeting with ratification of the newly revised bylaws and election of the new board as presented by the Nominating Committee. Guests are welcome. The Rural Community Action Ministry is a private, nonprofit organization that has provided services to vulnerable rural families since 1970.
