There will be a Soccer Season Kick-Off and Lighting Ceremony today -
Thursday, Feb. 26 at 5:45 p.m. to officially "light" the fields. Following
the lighting of 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 and a scheduled flyover. Two Dogwood trees will be planted
as well, donated by the Civic Beautification Association, a multi-parish
group of garden clubs. One of the trees is being dedicated in the memory of
Lindsay Gallo, a former Hannan High athlete who died of cancer. The tree had
been damaged since Katrina.
