They also will be honored at a special buffet dinner at 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 16, and the high school cafeteria with an individual cost of $20. The induction ceremony will follow at 7 p.m.
The group was selected by a special committee that was formed in the spring of 2016 to name the first 
group.
