🎄❤️ The Rotary Club of Crowley was proud to deliver 15 Christmas food baskets to families in need right here in our community.

This season is all about giving, and thanks to the generosity and hard work of our Rotarians and supporters, several local families will have a brighter holiday. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve and to make a small difference where it matters most.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible, and Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays from the Rotary Club of Crowley! 🎁✨

Thank you again to Troy Guidry, Vice President of Joint Operations for Acadian Ambulance, for joining us at the Crowley Rotary Club and providing such a comprehensive and informative update on Acadian Ambulance and the work being done both locally and across our region.

With nearly 45 years of service, Troy shared how Acadian has grown from two ambulances into a fully integrated, employee-owned organization providing ground and air medical transport, critical care aviation, in-home health services, safety and security solutions, and nationally recognized EMS education and training. Acadian’s investment in workforce development—including EMT and paramedic training, partnerships with South Louisiana Community College, and youth Explorer programs—continues to strengthen emergency services not only in Crowley, but throughout Acadiana.

We are especially grateful for Acadian’s close partnership with our local fire departments, law enforcement agencies, city leadership, and community organizations, as well as their ongoing support through CPR and AED training, donated life-saving equipment, and event standby services. Troy’s presentation was a powerful reminder that Acadian’s success is rooted in service, collaboration, and a deep commitment to the communities they proudly serve.

Our Rotarian of the week for November 18, 2025 was Dr. Erin Olson and her guest speaker was Hana Perkins of Southpaw Dog Training.

Hana is a certified professional dog trainer who specializes in reactive, anxious, fearful, and aggressive dogs, as well as obedience and puppy training. She shared how proper training not only improves behavior but also prevents shelter surrenders and reduces the risk of bites—truly saving lives in our community.

She explained the importance of understanding dog body language, ruling out pain or medical issues, and recognizing that many unwanted behaviors come from fear, anxiety, or frustration—not spite. Hana also works closely with local shelters, helping stressed or shutdown dogs become adoptable again, including tough cases like “Kev,” a dog who is now coming out of his shell after months of fear.

Hana offers board-and-train programs, in-home sessions, behavior modification, service dog foundations, and virtual coaching for owners who want expert guidance from anywhere. Her focus is helping owners build better communication and consistency so both dog and human can thrive together.

We’re grateful for the work she’s doing in Acadiana and for sharing her expertise with our club today. 🐶💙
