Guest speaker for Thursday’s noon meeting of the Minden Lions Club will be Sarah Watson Overall, newly-hired Executive Director of Economic Development and the Main Street Commission for the City of Minden.

Born and reared in Homer, Sarah is a graduate of Claiborne Academy and LA Tech University. She is a Registered Nurse who has worked in healthcare for almost 15 years and was most recently working in Healthcare Quality for Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport. Sarah has served communities across the state as an RN. Outside of her nursing role, she has worked as a social event consultant, planner and holiday stylist.
