The two honorees selected by the Lamar Civitans this year were former Lamar teachers Dorothy “Dot” Plummer and Dot White. Proceeds from the reception and the Friday golf tournament provide college scholarships for Lamar High School students. The décor this year had a spring - time “polka dot” theme, and as always the food was scrumptious. Many thanks to Jane and Leo Windham for their lovely photographs.
