Congratulations, Semi Larade!

The Lemoine Development Association is pleased to nominate Semi Larade as our Volunteer of the Year.

Semi is a very dedicated association member who is always ready and willing to help whenever possible. Semi attends all meetings as possible and is a great asset to our organization. He has been an active board member for over 12 years.

Whether it is cleaning ditches during our annual adopt-a-highway clean up or helping set up our Christmas tree, Semi is always giving his 100%. We know he is always a phone call away whenever there is work to be done around our community, and never has he refused to help out in one form or another.

We thank you Semi, for the service you provide to the Lemoine Development Association and to your community.

Grand Merci. ...
