Today's Weird Holidays!

Every Tuesday, we will be sharing what the day's weird holidays are!


National Forget Me Not Day

Throw Back Tuesday

Every week, the Sylvester Local has a section in their newspaper called "Looking back through the Years". This section showcases different events that happened on certain days many years ago. Every week, we will be showcasing parts of their section in our newsletter!

45 Years Ago - November 5, 1975

"Airman Donald W. DuBois, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford DuBois of Poulan, has completed Air Force basic training at Lackland AFB, Tex. The airman is remaining at Lackland for specialized training in the security police field. DuBois is a 1968 graduate of Worth County High School, Sylvester.

Diane McLean, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Frederick McLean, is the Youth Ambassador for the 1975 Christmas Seal Campaign of the Georgia Lung Association. Diane will be calling on all the young people of Worth County to help with the campaign and to become involved in the work of the Lung Association."
