MAYVIEW MO FOUNDATION

What they do

SINCE THE OLD SCHOOL BUILDING WAS PURCHASED IN 2015, MANY IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE to THE SCHOOL BUILDINGS and PROPERTY IN FULFILLING THE MISSION of THE MAYVIEW MISSOURI FOUNDATION (MMF). THE PROPERTY and BUILDINGS PROVIDE A PLACE for PEOPLE to MEET, GROW THEIR BUSINESSES, and GATHER AS A COMMUNITY. THE GYM HAS BEEN USED BY FORTYVILLE 4H GROUP, COUNTY 4H ORGANIZATION, HABITAT for HUMANITY, and MAYVIEW COMMUNITY TRUNK or TREAT. VOLLEYBALL and BASKETBALL TEAMS HAVE USED IT for PRACTICE. ORGANIZATIONS ARE NOT CHARGED for USING THE GYM. FAMILIES and OTHER GROUPS HAVE RENTED THE FACILITY for THEIR EVENTS. MAYVIEW HISTORY MUSEUM HIGHLIGHTS THE HISTORY of THE MAYVIEW COMMUNITY WHICH WAS FOUNDED IN 1866 and IN THE LATE 1800S WAS THE LARGEST PRODUCER of APPLES IN THE COUNTY. THE ANNUAL FALL FESTIVAL CELEBRATES THAT HERITAGE WITH TRADITIONAL APPLE BUTTER MAKING, HAYRIDES, and OTHER EVENTS.
