Heeeyyy Boo Boo!
We had a blast touring Jellystone-Lake Charles this morning! There is so much to do all year round, from splash pads and pools to haunted trails and live music! They offer short and long term stays or just day passes to enjoy the activities.
We know what we will be doing this summer!

We are saddened to hear the News of Dr. Noble he was a leader in our community and was always so supportive.

Today, we have learned of the passing of Dr. John Noble, a longtime advocate for McNeese State University and a member of the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors representing the Lake Charles area. His leadership, knowledge and advocacy will be deeply missed at McNeese and across Southwest Louisiana.

After we wrap up week 2 of the Future Forward program sponsored by Woodside Energy we can’t help but feel incredibly thankful.

We are thankful to have a leader like Kimberly lead our group through this workshop that is providing leadership, personal, AND career development for our members at ZERO extra cost to them.
