Carver Community Plans 79th Annual Meeting for Dec. 3
Evansville, IN – Reservations are now being accepted for the Carver Community Organization’s 79th Annual Meeting and Luncheon on Tuesday, Dec. 3, at 11:30 a.m. at the Deaconess Orthopedic Neuroscience Hospital Pavilion Room located at 4011 Gateway Blvd., in Newburgh.
Individual tickets are available for $50 each and may be purchased by calling the Carver Community Organization at 812-423-2612. Sponsorships and table sales are also available from $750-$2,500. Proceeds for this event will directly benefit the programs and missions of Carver, including early childhood education, family services, and senior volunteerism and recreation.
This year’s guest speaker will be Evansville Mayor Stephanie Terry, who served as the organization’s first deputy director and was a “Carver Kid” as a child.
Terry served as executive director of the Children’s Museum of Evansville (cMoe) for 13 years, leading a team dedicated to enriching the lives of hundreds of thousands of children and their families. Under her leadership, the museum increased visitors and memberships; strengthened partnerships; raised and invested over $1 million in new capital projects; and launched a $6.5 million capital campaign, raising $5 million before her departure.
In the same year she joined cMoe, Terry was appointed to fill a vacant seat on the Vanderburgh County Council. About five months later, she was elected to the position as the first African American woman to serve on the council. She was re-elected in 2014, 2018 and 2022, before being elected Mayor of Evansville in November 2023.
