the teachings of Jesus and the Holy Bible; and

and gone, they have evolved and matured with every change; and
WHEREAS,
the group is now composed of Marion Merck, Jonathan Jackson, Henry Thompson,
Tommy Brooks, Dave Brown, and brothers Tim and Tom Thurmond; and

The Lanier Land Boys not only love what they do but also love all of those who
support them, and the Boys truly value the time the Lord gives them to spend
creating something so meaningful and special; and
WHEREAS,
The Lanier Land Boys are supported and loved by their fellow citizens for their
gift of music.
