History of Delaware County Hall of Fame |
The first
board meeting of the Delaware County Athletic Hall of Fame
was held in the Muncie Central High School Board Room in
1976. In attendance for this occasion were John Walker,
Burl Clark, Roberta Falls, Bob Heeter, Charles Donovan,
John Stebbins, Francis Lafferty, Leo Mench, Odie Barnett,
Rollin Gill, Sr. and Aaron Belcher. After a series
of meetings a decision was made to pursue establishing an
Athletic Hall of Fame in Delaware County and to pursue the
development of a constitution and by-laws and eventually
articles of incorporation.
The first elected officers to serve were Francis Lafferty,
Chairman , Aaron Belcher, Vice President and Burl Clark,
Treasurer. Articles of Inc. were approved in 1991.
The Delaware County Hall of Fame is also designed as a non-profit
organization under the Internal Revenue Code.
The Hall of Fame has been located at various places in the
community, Hotel Roberts, the White River Plaza on White
River Blvd. and presently in the lobby of the Horizon Center
in Downtown Muncie.
We would appreciate
any memorabilia that would be directly related to any athletic
connection of any of the 13 high schools of our county.
We provide storage in a climatically controlled environment.
The
stars on the logo for the Delaware County Athletic Hall
of Fame represents the original thirteen high schools in
Delaware County. The lines going through the blue logo on
the home page represent the state highways that pass through
Delaware County.
