I treasure the memories of the successful Fete des Lacs and meeting residents In our community; the fun outdoor event that St. Genevieve's held this fall; listening to stories of Centervllle past from long time citizens; and learning more as to how the City functions and the amount of time that goes In to making this a great place to live!
