Joel J. Moreau Skeet Shoot/Auction

Houma, LA

This is the Moreau family whose husband/father/grand-father passed away from cancer last year. They held the first annual Joel J. Moreau Skeet Shoot and asked me to be a part of this special event. The turnout was phenomenal. I've never seen so many pick-up trucks and 4 wheelers in one place! I was able to help with the auction part of the day which raised a ton of money to benefit the American Cancer Society. I was especially proud to help since my mother-in-law recently passed away from cancer as well.

Challenge Day at H.L.Bourgeious High School

Gray, LA

Although I don't have any pictures I'd like to share a little information with you about Challenge Day. I was so excited to be able to visit my high school alma mater and to volunteer for this special day which hopefully had a positive impact on the 100 - 130 students who attended. Challenge Day is a program that helps teens with experiences that they go through every day. It dealt with everything from drugs and alcohol to suicide, peer pressure, and anything else you can imagine. It was quite an emotional day for all of us. The program has been highlighted on Oprah and you can get more information at http://www.challengeday.org/.
