Hometown Mentors

Hometown Hall of Fame Cameron County Sports Edition is fast approaching. The committee is working very hard to get the event in order and showcase our Inaugural class. We are very excited to have 15 inductees this first year and look forward to meeting them along with their families

. We hope you will make plans to join us for the Homecoming parade on Friday September 26 and a tailgate party in the high school parking lot before the football as we show our support for the Red Raiders and the lucky candidates for Homecoming Queen.

 Please come by to say hello and reminisce with the inductees. Saturday will be our big event starting at 5:00 pm we will host a red carpet affair for pictures and interviews of the inductees then start right into our ceremony at 6:00 pm Saturday September 27 @ the Cameron County High School.

 Many of our alumni are planning to come home for this event to support their classmates/alumni that have been chosen for this prestigious award. 

Hope to see you there! Thank you, Annette Campbell, Project Manager.

Just some of the activities planned for homecoming weekend -

Hometown Mentors, Inc. is pleased to announce a wonderful donation of office space on Fourth Street in Emporium that will house the Hometown Mentors, Inc. Corporate Headquarters. 25 East Fourth Street, Emporium, PA is our new headquarters.

Thank you to Mrs. Malizia for the generous donation of the suite on the first floor of the Malizia and Malizia Law Office building.

The plan for HMI is to use this office to house the Hometown Hall of Fame: Cameron County Sports Edition and the other Halls of Fame to follow next year. (Arts, Sciences, Education and Humanities) The Board of Directors for HMI will also meet in this new office suite each quarter.

A schedule of volunteers will be made up to keep the doors open for travelers and people who want to come in and take a closer look at our organization and remember a time when they were living in our neck of the woods.

Plans are afoot, also, to cooperate with other nonprofit organizations in Emporium/Cameron County to share meeting facilities or computer equipment/Internet facilities. You can find more information about HMI, on our website: hometownmentors.org or email us at admin@hometownmentors.org.

The public is invited to attend the next board meeting of HMI, which will be held on the first floor of 25 East Fourth Street, in our new suite. The meeting will be September 27, at 9:00 am.

You will have an opportunity to become a member of HMI and learn details about the past year of operation for this new charity, as well as how you can become a vital part of encouraging your hometown into the future.

We will welcome Dave Labrozzi as he will be installed as President of Board of Directors at this annual meeting. This will be another growth year for HMI and we hope you will come on in, sit a spell and join the bandwagon.

Also on September 27th, HMI will sponsor the Inaugural Induction of the Hall of Fame at CCHS, starting at 5:00 pm with a red carpet meet and greet, and 6:00 pm ceremony to honor the 15 sports heroes and heroine from years gone by. Mrs. Catherine (Kate) Pohl will also be honored with the Hometown Life Achievement Award for 2014.

Dress is business/dressy as presenters will be formal and Admission is by free-will-donation. There will be many chances to win prize baskets being auctioned off to benefit HMI and the Hall of Fame.

There are so many good things happening this September in Emporium.... Come on home and join in the FUN. It will be just like old times!!

Hope to see you there!
