HOWDY ROWDY & LegisGATOR

Handing out samples at HOWDY ROWDY

HOWDY ROWDY!  It's a day that is designed to bring the LAKE AREA businesses front and center with the McNeese Students, offering free products, employment applications, and maybe even some coupons.  And that is just what we did!  Orange Leaf Lake Charles was there with 200 samples of Dole Orange, Vanilla, Chocolate, and Pineapple Freaux Yeaux for the students to sample while they filled out applications or signed up for our email list.  All in all, it was a great event and lots of friends were made!

Dessert with a capital YUM!

Gator Butter 

Salad?

Then it was on to L'Auberge Casino for the 7th Annual LegisGATOR meeting with keynote speaker, Gov. Buddy Roemer.  In talking about how General Electric did not pay one dime of Federal Income Tax last year, he asked who we thought might be the two biggest campaign contributors in the last election?  Answer?  GENERAL ELECTRIC and GOLDMAN ("friggin") SACHS.  Needless to say, the room, full of a wide range of political beliefs, died laughing!  Several Congressmen were there as well and gave brief addresses.  It was a very informative event.  The pictures that were taken do NOT represent the importance of the  event, but BOY, the food was good! The Lake Area has a lot going its way, and Orange Leaf Louisiana is  proud to be a part of this wonderful community!
