Messer participates in ‘One Campaign’ event in Batesville

Batesville, In. —Sixth district congressman Luke Messer and about 40 other volunteers gathered at the Batesville High School to paint a mural yesterday as part of the Hillenbrand “One Campaign” volunteer event. The mural was designed by recent Batesville high School graduate Anna Sing with the help of the local art department.

“Today was a great example of community members and business leaders coming together to improve the city,” Messer said. “It was inspiring to be among so many Hoosier volunteers willing to donate their time and talents, and I thank Hillenbrand for their leadership. I hope the students and teachers at Batesville High School enjoy the improvements.”

Prior to the volunteer event Messer met with Hillenbrand executives to talk about workforce needs.

“Hillenbrand’s One Campaign efforts contribute to strong communities and deep employee pride. We appreciated the Congressman volunteering alongside our employees and civic leaders today,” said Joe Raver, President & CEO, Hillenbrand.

Community leaders including Mayor Mike Bettice, Superintendent Paul Ketcham and State Rep. Cindy Ziemke also joined Rep Messer, Hillenbrand and Batesville Casket Associates for today’s “One Campaign” volunteer event.
