Minden Civitans recently held their installation banquet for 2025-2026 officers. The Civitan Club is devoted to making Minden a better place for all citizens. They work in such areas as Special Needs Citizens, Special Olympics, Clergy Appreciation Week, Civitan Santa and the Webster Parish Fair.

Civitan Joe Holley swore in the new officers: Steve Bryan, President; Johnny McCormick, President Elect; Betty Purdy, Secretary; and Ed Labruyere, Treasurer.

Roger Grubbs was given a plaque as outgoing President, as well as a plaque as Civitan of the Year.

The Civitans meet at 6:30 p.m., the last Tuesday of the month at the Minden Fairgrounds. Anyone interested in the club is invited to attend or call Steve Bryan at 318-426-1612 for more information.
