These above persons will be inducted during the afternoon program of the 2010 reunion. A large plaque will be purchased which will allow for their names to be added after the event. It will have an additive component so other names can be added later. The plaque will be displayed in the Evergreen Museum so others may know that these people made significant contributions to their community.

Please join us in congratulating the above persons for their contributions to our community.

The Civic League is planning to provide lunch at the site to avoid people having to relocate during that time; group picture opportunities will be available; memorabilia will be on display; CDs of past reunions will be available for viewing; the programs will be enlightening and interesting; the company will be the best. Please make plans now and view the earlier Updates at www.evergreenla.org for more details.

Please remind EHS students and Evergreen area residents prior to 1950 and all former educators that they are asked to participate in the p.m. program. Please contact Maudie Holston Gauthier for more information. Thank you.

Please pre-register ASAP. There is no charge for the reunion.

Peace, Ed Dugas
