Lumbee Co-op Board Names Pembroke
As Election Site
By Sherry Matthewi
The Pembroke State University
gymnasium has been chosen as the
site for this year's Lumbee River
Electric Membership Cooper
ative's annual membership
meeting.
The decision comes despite an
earlier effort by a now-disbanded
membership group to have the
meeting hejd elsewhere.
The meeting place was voted on
by the co-op's 12 directors last
week.
Lane Hudson, the co-op's public
relations director, said board
members chose the Pembroke gym
because of its "central" location.
"They looked at seven possible
meeting places, but only two were
suitable," Hudson said.
According to Hudson, the Pem
broke gym and the Cumberland
County Memorial Auditorium in
Fayetteville were the two
possibilities.
"We were looking for a place
that would suit the needs of about
2,000 people," Hudson said.
The meeting place needed to be
accessible and large enough to hold
that many people, Hudson added.
The Pembroke location was
chosen because it was the most
"centrally" located facility in the
four county area that the co-op
serves, a press release issued Mon
day said.
According to Hudson, the
Cumberland County Auditorium
was ruled out because something
else had been "tentatively"
scheduled for October 18.
A spokesman for the
Cumberland Auditorium confirms
that a tentative booking has been
scheduled for the arena area, but
no scheduling had been made for
the auditorium.
The Cumberland arena holds a
maximum of 6,300 people, and the
auditorium has a maxium capacity
of 2,439 people.
The Pembroke gym will seat
3,000 people, according to the
press release.
Board members are expecting
some 2,000 people to be present at
the meeting.
According to the press release,
board members felt the Pembroke
gym would accommodate the ex
pected turnout.
Pembroke State University is
located in Pembroke, some 12
miles from the intersection of
Highway 74 and 1-95 in Robeson
County.
The purpose of the annual
membership meeting is to allow
members to vote on board direc
tors. F our seals will be voted on
during this year's meeting.
Up for re-election this year are
Davis Parker, director frorti
District 8, J. W. Hunt, director
from District 2, Timothy
Strickland, director from District 4
and Gus Bullard, director from
elected at large.
In an unrelated matter, Martin
Clark was chosen to complete the
term of office vacated by Marcia
Lowery of Scotland County from
District 9 who resigned the posi
tion in April.
