WISHES TO EXPRESS

SINCERE HEARTFELT THANKS

TO THOSE WHO GAVE SO GENEROUSLY

OF THEIR TIME – TALENT – and – TREASURE

TO MAKE OUR BICENTENNIAL YEAR

SO SPECIAL

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO ATTEND THE GALA BICENTENNIAL WRAP PARTY

The Lilly Area Bicentennial Committee had planned to hold a nice little dinner dance to acknowledge and thank those who had worked so hard to organize the bicentennial events. However, when we started to list the names of all the helpers - rather than coming up with a few dozen names - we found instead that a good percentage of the population had been involved in some way in bringing-off Our gala bicentennial year.  So we decided to have a party for the whole town. Here is the tentative schedule:

 - Time: 6:30 to 10:00 p.m. Saturday February 3, 2007 - Place: Cresson Fire Hall

Agenda:

- Minimum formal program–only Major Sponsors will be formally acknowledged

- Power Point Presentation  (THE YEAR THAT WAS-2006)

- GOOD MUSIC – Clay Bowser

- FUN FOOD BUFFET, BEER, WINE , COFFEE, and SOFT DRINKS
