progress at the football and soccer complex on the grounds of the former
Hannan High School in Meraux.

 

There will be a Soccer Season Kick-Off and Lighting Ceremony Thursday, Feb.

the fields, the 5- and 6-year-old boys and girls will play the first game of
the 2009 season.

On Saturday, Feb. 28, at 9 a.m. there will be a Grand Opening Ceremony at
Hannan with music, a scheduled flyover and the dedication of the planting of
a Dogwood tree. The tree is being planted in the memory of Lindsay Gallo, a
former Hannan High athlete who died of cancer. The tree that had been
damaged since Katrina is being donated by the Civic Beautification
Association, a multi-parish group of garden clubs.
