The Lakeland Community College Alumni Association announces its inductees to the 2009 Lakeland Alumni Hall of Fame. The award is given to outstanding graduates of the college for making a difference in society because of their experiences and education at Lakeland. This year's inductees are: Robert E. Martin (class of 1971), Lauren Moore, (class of 1986), and Greg D. Taylor (class of 1980).
The induction ceremony takes place on Wednesday, August 6 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Mooreland Mansion on the college campus. The event is $15 per person with a cash bar, and the public is invited.
Lakeland Hall of Fame members will also announce the newly created Alumni Hall of Fame Scholarship Fund at the event.
