Thank you to everybody who attended the groundbreaking this morning (Tues. Aug. 14, 2012) for the new main library in Ville Platte!  We had great attendance and support from the Police Jury, Library Board of Control, City of Ville Platte, Library Staff, Friends of the Library, Food for Thought Book Club, Evangeline Genealogical and Historical Society, Chamber of Commerce, Ville Platte Rotary Club and other organizations, local banks, and many folks from the community!  Thank you all so much!

We especially thank Ronnie Landreneau of Landreneau & Associates, Brodie Ardoin of Ardoin Architecture, Troy Frick and Nicholas Rodriquez of Troy A. Frick (building contractor), Nancy Duplechain of KVPI, the KATC film crew, Steve Hallam of the Ville Platte Gazette, Bobby Dardeau of the Bonnes Nouvelle, and last but not least our wonderful local photographer Mable Foreman.

Additional thanks to Anthony Newman of Bayou State Maintenance for having the grounds looking great, and to Mr. Joey Fontenot for framing and installing our building sign on extremely short notice.  Also, special thanks to Donald Bergeron and the wonderful Police Jury crew who did set up and take down of our tents and chairs, etc.

Finally, very special thanks to all our guest speakers and honored guests, and to Suzy Lemoine, library outreach coordinator, and Paula Lafleur, president of the Friends of the Library.  Without you, this wouldn’t have been possible.

You all helped make this a wonderful event, a pause  to celebrate before the construction begins.

Thank you!
