Who will end up in the runoff for mayor
Who will end up in the runoff for mayor

Clancy DuBos is the chairman and co-owner of Gambit Communications, Inc., and the political editor/columnist for Gambit weekly newspaper in New Orleans. He also is the on-air political commentator for WWL-TV Channel 4's Eyewitness News, and a licensed attorney in Louisiana.

Clancy and his wife Margo have owned Gambit since 1991, and he has been an attorney since 1993. Prior to 1991, Clancy was the on-air political reporter and analyst for WDSU-TV (NBC) in New Orleans for nearly 10 years (December 1981 - May 1991), then at WVUE-TV (Fox 8) through August 2007 before joining WWL-TV as the station's on-air political analyst.

He now delivers his weekly "Clancy's Commentary" on WWL-TV every Tuesday during the station's 6 p.m. newscast. Clancy became Gambit's first and only political columnist in December 1981. He now works full-time at Gambit while maintaining a limited, part-time law practice. Gambit Communications Inc. publishes Gambit (circ. 40,000, Louisiana's largest weekly newspaper), the online "bestofneworleans.com" Web site and the "Blog of New Orleans" news blog (www.blogofneworleans.com).

Clancy began a civil law practice after graduating from Loyola Law School in 1993, taking time out to clerk for Chief Justice Pascal Calogero of the Louisiana Supreme Court in 1994.

As a journalist, he has earned awards from the Press Club of New Orleans, the Louisiana Press Association, the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies and the Associated Press Association of Louisiana and Mississippi. He also has appeared on numerous network radio and television talk shows, including "Washington Week in Review," NPR, "The Today Show," "Dateline NBC" and many appearances on local radio talk shows. Clancy and Margo were honored in 2008 with the "A.I. Botnick Torch of Liberty Award," the highest honor bestowed by the South-Central Region of the Anti-Defamation League. Clancy was named UNO's "Homer Hitt Distinguished Alumnus of the Year" in 2003. In 2012, he was named one of "Ten Outstanding Persons" by Family Services of New Orleans and "Alumnus of the Year" by Holy Cross School.

Clancy was an original member of the Board of Directors of KIDsmART, a non-profit arts education organization serving inner-city youth in New Orleans. He served for nine years as a board member of the New Orleans Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau, and he served for 15 years on the board of directors of Holy Cross School, including a two-year stint as chairman of the board during and after Hurricane Katrina. He currently serves on the Visiting Committee of Loyola Law School.

A native of New Orleans, Clancy is a 1972 graduate of Holy Cross High School, the University of New Orleans (B.A. History, 1976) and Loyola University School of Law (J.D., 1993). He and Margo have two sons.

Information about Gallier Hall Celebration
GALLIER HALL GALA CELEBRATION
 
On Saturday, October 21, 2017 (7:00 – 10:00 PM), the Rotary Club of New Orleans will host a gala to kick-off the Tri-centennial Celebration of the founding of New Orleans.  You, your family and friends are all invited to come dance the night away to the music of Kermit Ruffins and the Barbeque Swingers.  It wouldn’t be a New Orleans celebration without good food – so we’ll enjoy the culinary creations of Chef Nathaniel Zimet, a “Chopped” Chef Winner,  from Boucherie Restaurant, voted New Orleans Best New Restaurant in 2009.  To keep you hydrated, we will have Open Bars serving beer, wine and the finest cocktails.  The drinks will be free but don’t forget to tip our Bartenders from the New Orleans Riverbend Rotary Club.  You won’t want to miss the presentation of an award to Ellis Marsalis for the Service he has given to the youth of New Orleans or the Ten Minute Auction (three prime items).  Proceeds from the evening will go toward renovations of Gallier Hall.  It’s not too late to be a Gala Sponsor and attend the Patron Party and be included in the night’s program (contact Tommy Moore at tommy@directmailplus.net).  Individual tickets for the Gala are $125.00 - so, be in that number and send your ticket order in or you can click on the Gala under the "Upcoming Events" section below where you can register and purchase tickets online.  Ticket order forms will also be available at our weekly meetings. Don’t miss out on the fun!
Neutral Ground Maintenance--You Are Needed!

 

The neutral ground is located on Poydras Street between Tchoupitoulas Street and South Peters Street. The new signs make it easy to see where you need to go. Two or three Rotarians are scheduled each week, but you can get creative and have others help if you wish. If you cannot work during the scheduled week, try to switch off with someone else. During your week, the deal is to pick up trash or broken limbs you find on the neutral ground. You can bring your own garbage bag and gloves. The trash pick up takes less than 15 minutes but be careful on the busy street. After you are finished, just throw the garbage bag into one of the public trash containers on Poydras Street.

 
Week of 10/09/2017, Bob Heaps, Mark Heller
Week of 10/16/2017, George Hero, Christine Hoffman
 

During the year, we will arrange to do more gardening work on the neutral ground and go to lunch afterward.

REMEMBER that in addition to keeping up this stretch of Poydras Street, this is a great way to get to know your fellow Rotarians. Also, if you cannot perform your assigned task think about getting a group of younger folks to handle it for you. They can be Interactors, high schoolers looking for community service hours or just folks looking for a way to get involved.
