An all-school reunion is planned for July 6, 2012; and

    WHEREAS, Orient survived drought and depression and enjoyed prosperity during the last one hundred twenty-five years and remains today a community of sixty-three town residents and many rural supporters.

    NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT COMMEMORATED, by the Eighty-seventh Legislature of the State of South Dakota, that Orient, South Dakota, be congratulated for one hundred twenty-five years of contribution to its local area and to the state, and best wishes be extended to the citizens of Orient for continued prosperity and community dedication in its future.
