Rebecca will be appearing before <br /> the council this evening to introduce both herself and review the great work ACHS is accomplishing across the <br /> county. <br /> Many residents of our community myself included have made various efforts over the years to document and <br /> preserve our communities rich history thru the reproduction of photos, film and printed materials. <br /> I became involved in the preservation of our community history in the mid 90's with a small budget to <br /> reproduce a collection of photos from our residents. In addition, the funds were used for my work on Lifetime <br /> Achievement Award which recognized and wrote the biographies of citizens who made an impact in our <br /> community. <br /> Their was a long forgotten donation from the Centerville Lions Club to the city earmarked for historic <br /> preservation. I only knew of the donation because Melvin Dupre had saved the receipt as the treasurer of the <br /> Lions Club. The council at the time approved the use of the funds to move forward with the project. I believe <br /> the spending of that small donation was one of the last times the council made a designated effort toward <br /> istoric preservation. <br /> i <br /> G <br />
