Goodman Community Birthday Calendar

For many years, the Goodman Birthday Calendar was sponsored by the American Legion Post in Goodman. But, since the Goodman Post has closed, the calendar is now sponsored by The American Legion Post 163 in Neosho. The calendar is currently being edited with updates and corrections for the 2019 calendar and will be going to print very soon. Many names have been removed due to divorces, deaths and persons no longer living in the area. If residents would like to check on the status of birthdays (month and day) or anniversary (month and day) on the calendar, contact Andrea Smith at 417-364-7334.
