La Vernia Historical Association plans anniversary book


In celebration of its 20th anniversary, the La Vernia Historical Association invites local families to be included in an upcoming history book, scheduled for release in 2022. The book, Lavernia Legacies, the Family History Edition, will include contributed family histories and photos.

“We want to commemorate our 20th anniversary by publishing this book to celebrate not only the families who lived here earlier but the ones who are making history now,” said association President Elaine Stephens.

Families and sponsors will have a choice of space sizes.

“We have tried to keep prices low for families,” Stephens said. Family spaces will range from $25 to $200. Sponsor ads will be from $75 to $500. Family participants must include at least one person who has lived or lives in La Vernia. Everyone who participates will receive a free book when published.

“We will have a lot of important material to keep organized,” Stephens added. “Submitters can help by following the guidelines carefully. All information is on our website, www.LaVerniaHistory.com.”

The cost of the book, if any, will depend on the size of the publication once all material has been collected. The deadline to submit photos and stories is Nov. 30, 2021.

Submitters may download the required form and submit it via email or mail with all required information and payment prior to the deadline. Visit www.LaVerniaHistory.com for information and forms.
