Save our Historic Railroad Staircase The Poplar Bluff, MO Historic Train Depot is in desparate need of repair. The committee members are hopeful the 1910 depot will become a transportation hub. In addition to being used as a station for passengers riding Amtrak trains, It could be used by Greyhound Bus Service, the local transit service and taxicabs. The Poplar Bluff Depot is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Congratulations to the Poplar Bluff Garden Club for winning the award for Most New Members for 2009!

The Poplar Bluff Garden Club was organized on May 12, 1937 and was Federated in 1946. Flower: Tulip Poplar Motto:"Plant, Grow and Beautify" Poplar Bluff Garden Club from Southeast District participated in the annual Holiday House Scholarship Fundraiser for the Claudia Foundation in December 2009. The Foundation helps women of all ages attend college, as well as sponsors a classics reading program that encourages local young men and women to read the 100 greatest books. Shown in the photo are Judy Duncan and Rose Brown with the tree that they designed and decorated. The ladies used magnolia leaves sprayed white to depict poinsettia blossoms with a gum balls for the center, dried hydrangea blossoms sprayed blue and curly willow for the tree topper to help in the decorating theme "Wings of Winter". For more pictures and info about the fundraiser, go to www.claudiafoundation.org. The Claudia Foundation was created by Linda Bloodworth Thomason, a local hometown girl and the creator and writer of such television shows as "Designing Women" and "Evening Shade". She got her big break by writing some episodes for "MASH". .
