On Monday, Oct. 3, the Civic League held its annual “Hat Luncheon” at the China Star Restaurant in Bogalusa.

After a delicious meal, the provisional members — Marettie Corkern, Tish Fones, Kim McCullough, and Gretchen Thomas — modeled the hats they designed depicting themselves and their lives and thereby introducing themselves to the membership.

Each was awarded a certificate and a pin. The certificate designated the number of volunteer hours each had given to the Washington Parish community. They were then introduced as active members, having completed the requirements necessary to become an active member.

With a round of applause, the membership welcomed these civic-minded ladies.
