While LSU was taking the lead against UT in the College World Series, I was enjoying the evening with the Kiwanis Club of Algiers - Morning Edition supporting the Algiers Economic Development Foundation as they kicked off another successful season of "Wednesdays on the Point." This free concert series promotes historic Algiers Point located on the west bank of the Mississippi River in New Orleans. Tonight, my fellow Kiwanians & I were treated to Terrance Simien & the Zydeco Experience while we raised money to support Kiwanis Helping Kids. Join the Kiwanis and AEDF each Wednesday for a different free concert -- check the calendar at http://aedf.biz/wednesday-on-the-point/ for more information.
Even though I was a member of Key Club and Circle K, when I first joined Kiwanis, I could rarely remember how to spell the name of the organization. A fellow member recently taught me how to remember it: Kiwanis Is Where A Need Is Served. What an incredible organization that begins teaching children to give back to their communities in Builders Clubs and continues the development in high schools & colleges with Key Clubs and Circle K. I am proud to be a Kiwanis International member, as well as to serve as the moderator of the Our Lady of Holy Cross College Circle K chapter.
And, of course, as an LSU alumna and former Miss LSU -- GO TIGERS!
2009 College World Series Champions!
