A very special event was held at Lucier Park on October 15, 2016.
The event was sponsored by Forest ReLeaf who provided us with 50 trees and 25 flowering shrubs.
The planting was coordinated through the Parks and Forestry Departments of the City of St. Louis and the SDCC beautification committee. Participants included families who have lived on the 5900 block of DeGiverville more than 50 years, including Willie and Rogerene Kinds and family, Gwen Lazard, and the Brown family. Eric Trudo and Andy Cross facilitated the project, which brought together volunteers from around the park. More pictures from this great event are on page 4.

The Brown Family are also 50+ year residents of 5900 DeGiverville. Mary, with her late husband Jesse, were leaders in the community for many years.
