DEAR EDITOR: On behalf of the LaPlace Lions Club, I want to publicly thank the local citizens and businesses who donated money for our American Flag project.

This year, we were able to display 65 flags along Airline Highway and infront of local businesses in LaPlace, with three in Reserve. These flagswill be taken down after Labor Day and will go back up next summer.

This project has increased civic pride and our level of patriotism. Eachflag cost $30 and was erected by the Lions Club. Donations are still beingaccepted.

The following is a list of our sponsors: Hibernia National Bank, Eckerd’s Drugs, Bull’s Corner, Scioneaux Inc., Castay Inc., Lester Millet Enterprises,Gerald Moore, George Lasseigne Jr., Dr. Christy Montegut, LaPlace Ford,River Parishes Chiropractic Clinic, CJ’s Electric, Southern Chemical Industries, Edward Jones Investments, Rainbow Chevrolet and St. JohnParish Economic Development Council.
