“I didn’t realize it had been 50 years until they told me,” she joked during a recent luncheon in her honor.
At the event, LaFayette Mayor Neal Florence proclaimed May 8, 2012 as “Emily Henry Day” throughout the city.
“Emily is the kind of lady who doesn’t take no for an answer,” LaFayette Woman’s Club president Ales Campbell said. “It is because of her instruction and caring nature that I am in the Woman’s Club today.”
Since 1977 the club has presented an outstanding member with the Club Appreciation Award, which was awarded this year to Henry for her work in conservation and her 50 years of club work, Campbell said.
