Krewe of Acadiana

Rebecca, Thank you so much for your hospitality, what a fabulous party--forgive me for not taking you up on your table offer, but I learned the hard way at Apollo once not to sit too close to speakers, my ears rang for two hours : ) I fielded a lot of questions about the Krewe, and Don said several remarked they'd bought tickets after reading you on his boomer page-- My photo of Danny Hutton came out fine, btw. If you guys keep this up, no krewe in town will be able to compete. Whatever you paid Three Dog Night, it was worth it. Sincerely, Patricia P.S. Seriously, you've raised the bar. Patricia Gannon

You had me at "Love my Acadiana city", "a business friendly krewe of entrepreneurs", and then the photos!.... hands-on-homemade FUN get-ups. Somebody get me a glue gun, I feel a crustation coming on. I'll fill-out the application form when I tell - I mean ask my husband about joining. til demain Lisa Parks Lisa Parks March 28, 2011

Keith, I want to personally say thanks for coming out today (you and the Krewe) and supporting us. It means a lot to us. Rebecca, I can't say thank you enough for your help, guidance and for the Krewe's efforts to bring Acadiana business together. I'm so proud to be a part of this as we grow. Best Regards, Jim Williamson Unique Systems Jim Williamson Unique Systems' Letter to the Krewe - July 2011

The beads .. OMG !!!! Not only was that a BIG deal with our participants .. but the LN (Local Nationals) .. were all up on that .. It would have appeared as though they had never seen something so beautiful or valuable before. It was fun though to see the overall CRAZE of the day .... The WINNERS prize... MAJ Maza divided up things and we sorted it out .. to make it a 1st and 2nd Prize Package in both the MEN & WOMEN category. It was funny to see the Winners rummage thru the boxes to get a glimpse of their goodies The event continued into the evening with presentations of Floats made out of card board boxes .. unfortunately .. that is the one thing we do not have pictures of. Now I must tell you .. when you look at the pictures .. it would seem as though we are all BIG as a HOUSE .. hahahaha .. but that particularly camera must have put 12#lbs on everyone ...Again,,, CAMP EGGERS .. SALUTES .. the KREWE OF ACADIANA, INC ... for its generous support. Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Mon, September 12, 2011

Hey there Ducky ... The Labor Day / Mardi Gras / Afghanistan Run was a HUGE SUCCESS .. In fact, this was the event which was recorded as having had the MOST participants... It was OVER 228 participants !!!!! MAJ Maza was so very THRILLED..as this was her LAST planned event here in Theater, as she has already departed the country to head back to her full-time position at the Pentagon. The race had participants from a wide selection of our NATO forces here .. including Civilian contractors. It was a GREAT day as well. Upon completion of the race, the runners received their T-shirt .. all of which were individually packed in plastic bags ..for the first 200 participants who signed up. The T-shirts were a BIG hit .. the folks .. esp the Marines loved them. Take care, Daniel .. Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Mon, September 12, 2011
