On Saturday, August 26, members of our Council and wives participated at our annual Dance and Pizza party at the Magnolia School in Jefferson. We served up 40 pizzas, 350 cookies, and drinks to 160 residents and staff while DJ Jerry Juan kept them moving on the dance floor. These individuals really had a great time and showed their appreciation towards our kindness. There is no better way to experience love and compassion than by helping those in need and experiencing the joy they express at this function every year!
Many thanks to Winn Dixie on Gause Blvd and Military Rd for assisting us with the cookies and drinks and Florence’s Pizza of Metairie for providing great pizza at a great price.
