The President insists on the large presence of the members of the Board of Directors, which shows everyone's attachment to the Church of Notre Dame de Louvières.
At the beginning of 2010, we have to deplore the death of Mr. de Lammerville who was vice-president, which we deeply regret. His qualities in all areas will be a lack for our Association.
Thank you, Madam Mayor, for publishing an article in the "Echos de Louvières" of July 2009, when our association was created.
In 2009, the members of the Board of Directors met 3 times, including 1 time for the preparation of the heritage days, which were a real success with the visit of many people. Thank you to those who mobilized those days.
This operation will be renewed in 2010, on September 18 and 19.
Work done on the church in 2009:
. Inside, restoration of the main altar and its Maltese cross. (with the agreement of the building's assignee), a floor in the stalls, the pulpit.

We need to renew the outgoing third party. Two names were drawn: Mrs. HARDELAY and FRANCOISE. They are re-elected.
