Thank you.
Those two words can mean so much, especially when said to a public servant.
On Wednesday, the Rotary Club of Abbeville said its annual thanks to public servants in the city with the Rotary Public Servant of the Year Award presentations.
“We appreciate everything you do for our community,” Rotary Club President John Suire told those in attendance. “This is one way we like to show our appreciation.”

DELCAMBRE — Delcambre Mayor Pam Blakely attended the recent Iberia Parish School Board meeting and came back with an agreement for the town’s planned park property on the corner of Main and Pelloat streets, she told the Board of Aldermen at its monthly meeting on Monday.
The board then voted to authorize the mayor to enter into an agreement for the property. The cooperative endeavor agreement for development of the property requires that the town send all plan specifications to the school board for approval prior to construction, town attorney Gabe Duhon said.
