On April 4, the John Everett Chapter of the DAR recognized the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 1127 for their respect and display of the American Flag.

GAYELYNN THOMAS
My name is GayeLynn Thomas. I was born in Eagle Lake and have lived here for nearly all of my 60 years. Before retiring and opening a small business here, I worked as an educator for approximately 37 years, mostly at the community college level. In addition to my position on the city council, I currently serve as a director on both the Chamber of Commerce board and the Rails-to-Trails Project board, organizations focused on creating a better future for Eagle Lake. I believe that the residents of Eagle Lake deserve council members who are dedicated to moving our city forward. I am seeking re-election to the Eagle Lake City Council in order to continue the progress we are making, and I would appreciate your support on Election Day. 04/19/2023 12:00 AM
