CAA celebrates 50th anniversary

St. Mary-Vermilion Community Action Agency Inc. will commemorate 50 years of service with a celebration highlighting all the accomplishments made over the years.
St. Mary CAA is hosting its Annual Membership meeting, Friday, May 5 at 6 pm, in the Pavilion at Cypress Bayou Casino. A red-carpet entrance section will greet attendees, who can take pictures in front of a St. Mary-Vermilion CAA backdrop made especially for the 50th anniversary. There is still time for community partners, locally owned businesses and local officials to sponsor tables for senior citizens.
The agency also invites former St. Mary Mary Mr. and Ms. CAA past royalty to participate in this year’s gala. The colors this year are white and gold and the theme is: “Covering Children and Families with Quality Services.” There will be live musical performances, red carpet action, a catered meal and door prizes will be given away as well.
The agency is asking all Head Start Alumni to participate in this celebration by submitting their names to be included in the 50th Anniversary souvenir booklet. However, if a picture is included there will be a fee. For more details, table sponsors, and ticket prices, contact the St. Mary/Vermilion CAA Family Services Department at 1407 Barrow St. in Franklin or by phone at (337) 828-5703.
