As life reaches some sense on normalcy after Gustav, please be reminded
that the News, Memories, Anecdotes, and Family Connections are wonderful
opportunities for Pelicans to document some aspects of life in Evergreen
or an update since those years.
Anecdotes and News Stories can easily be
done in a brief sitting...perhaps just a couple of minutes. If everyone
participates these pages will be very enjoyable. However, if only a few
Pelicans submit items, the two-way street of cooperative efforts for us
to enlighten each other will not be realized. Please consider writing
something for these areas. Other Pelicans would like to know your news
and learn of the events in your life.
Memories letters can be longer than News
stories or Anecdotes...or you may submit a few of your memories, then
send more later. Some Pelicans have written several times, and the
addendums are added to what was previously posted. Memories have that
additive quality. I trust you will soon send some of your Evergreen
Memories. Remember, no one else can write your memories.
In the Community Link, the Family Connection Page
has been added. Please review the information posted, along with
examples. This area should be a "slam-dunk" for anyone who wants to
document the Family Connections which did exist and those which grew out
of those FCs. Thank you for documenting the Family Connections in your
family.
John Smith and I have submitted a few hurricane
Anecdotes...just to get the ball rolling. So, please send your
Anecdotes...notice how brief they are. Anecdotes may be on any topic.
I bet many of you have some Anecdotes which others would enjoy. Thank
you for sending some of your anecdotes.
A News Story will soon be posted on
Gustav's visit to Louisiana...so please
send your story (along with a picture if you wish). The story I
submitted will have a picture included (soon) and perhaps you could view
it and explain how the basketball goal make-over occurred...at this
point only Gustav knows.
Remember, the Little Flower Church Fair is
scheduled for Sept. 13 & 14 and several other events posted in
the News are scheduled for October. Check the News for the details on
all of these scheduled events. Your support is appreciated.
Thank you. Peace, Ed Dugas
