Lois Marie Bright and Gayla Mize honored by Citizens 1st Bank for their contributions to downtown

The Nacogdoches Main Street Advisory Board recently received $20,000 from Mr. Perkins, of Citizens 1^st Bank to honor two outstanding citizens, who dedicated their lives to downtown Nacogdoches. The donation, made in honor of Gayla Mize and Lois Marie Bright, will be used to manufacture, install and maintain 20 planter boxes in the downtown district. “We couldn’t be more excited about this project,” Gerry Larabee, Main Street Advisory Board President stated. “We cannot thank Mr. Perkins and Citizen’s 1^st Bank enough.”

Gayla and Lois Marie, loved downtown Nacogdoches, and were both instrumental in the transformation of the Plaza Principal and various other projects. Both active in various garden clubs, this couldn’t be a more fitting tribute to the two friends.
