President’s Message by Chad Harrington [email protected] I can’t believe its September Already! Time sure does fly.
Starting off on a sad note- we lost a member of our organization. Liz Barker
passed away on July 9th, 2019. We sent an arrangement of flowers from the mem-
bership, and the PP’s sent a donation to a fund in her name.
We held our Summer Workshop on Wednesday, Aug 14th at Insurance Underwrit-
ers in Metairie. The officers, board, and committee members worked together to
help start planning a fun year ahead.
Our September Meeting will be held at Augie’s, and this is our Legislative meet-
ing. Our speaker will be Jamie Freeman of the Tatman Group. She will speak on
the elections in October!
Some of the changes ahead for this upcoming year-
Golf tournament- revamping to a Putt Putt tournament in hopes that it will lower
the cost and will drive for more participation. Debbie Harrington is taking point
on this one and will be looking for volunteers to help out with Committees. We
are working with City Putt and looking for a date early November.
New Member Social getting revamped into fund raiser- Field Day headed up by
Monique O’Neill.
Fun/ Charity Walks: in lieu of the community rebuilding that we try and do- we
are looking into participating in other events for charity.
The first event that we are looking to participate in is the PurpleStride Lou-
isiana to help benefit Pancreatic Cancer. Event is on Sunday 09/29/2019
@ City Park.
ALS Walk - 10/19. More info to come from Stacey Campo.

Our Summer Function was held on July 27th at Mardi Gras World. We had a good turnout with 15 in attend-
ance to make our own customized Mardi Gras masks. We also got to tour the Mardi Gras World warehouse,

tions. It was a fun morning!

Safety/Wellness by Jeff Rhodes [email protected]
With football season upon us, that means it’s also tailgating season. The time where we hang out, grill some
food, and enjoy some beverages before cheering our team on to victory. While tailgating is fun, it can also be
dangerous if proper precautions are not taken.
First off, make sure you drink plenty of water. The calendar might say fall, but the thermometer says sum-
mer. You don’t want to miss the game because of heat stroke. Also, drink in moderation. You don’t want to
end up with alcohol poisoning, or not being able to remember the game. And if you’re just there for the tail-
gate and not the game, please remember, do not drink and drive. Some other ways to stay safe at the tailgate:
1. Food safety is paramount for keeping your tailgate party fun. Even if food items are transported in coolers
or portable refrigerators, they can sit out on snack tables for extended periods during the pre-game celebration,
increasing the chance for spoilage. Monitor your food, and keep items covered or on ice if possible.
2. Grilled meats are often a big part of a tailgating menu. Raw meat should be packed separately, in an iced
cooler, and stored in individual containers until they’re ready to be tossed on the grill. Keep knives, tongs and
other utensils clean and washed after coming in contact with raw meat. Do the same for cutting boards and
other surfaces, and wash your hands before and after touching raw meat. It’s also advisable to use paper tow-
els and plates to further prevent the spread of foodborne bacteria.
