Our community (West Clark) came together when Henryville was struck by a tornado.

It should not take a disaster to bring a community together. However, it brought our community (West Clark) together. Everybody worked together. Commitment, cooperation, participation, respect, work, and time is all it took to bring the community together and functioning. People volunteered to help the victims. People donated much needed items. Bring the community together, and try to keep it that way.
