The Allen Parish Community Hospital (APCH) led a beautification project last week through its Community Connect Celebration. Hospital personnel joined Kinder Mayor Wayland LaFargue in planting citrus and fig trees with Chinese Elms behind the town’s gazebo at the corner of Fourth and Ninth streets. On Thursday, October 19, members of the community gathered to mark the occasion. Grabbing shovels, left to right, were Kimberly Caldarera, marketing director and community liaison for APCH; Mayor LaFargue and Jacqueline “Jackie” Rae Costley-Reviel, CEO of APCH. (Photos submitted)
