State of The State: The Pandemic
State of The State: The Pandemic

Gov John Bel Edwards assumed office on January 11, 2016. His current term ends on January 8, 2024.

Edwards was re-elected Gov after winning the general election on November 16, 2019

He was first elected to the office in 2015, succeeding term-limited Gov. Bobby Jindal (R).

Before he was elected as governor, Edwards represented District 72 in the state House for eight years, serving as minority leader for the final four years. He worked as an attorney in private practice before seeking elected office.

Edwards is a graduate of West Point, and served eight years in the U.S. Army, attaining the rank of captain in The vaunted 82nd Airborn Division.

He earned his Jurist Doctorate degree at Louisiana State University.

He is currently hard at work guiding the a State through one of the worst pandemics in modern world history.

BIG GAME RAFFLE

Big Game Raffle – Drawing in 10 days!

We are asking each Rotarian to purchase or sell at least 4 Big Game Raffle Tickets so we can continue to fund some of our charitable endeavors.   We still need everyone to participate so we can meet our goal of selling 500 tickets. The $8o cost is significantly less than the monthly dues which have been suspended since March.  This raffle has been one our most reliable fundraisers as there is no cost to our club.

If you did not receive the tickets or need some additional please contact me at Kkoppy23@gmail.com or 713-503-0401. The drawing will be held on August 20th.  
Mail tickets stubs and checks payable to the Rotary Club of New Orleans to me at 800 Valmont Street, New Orleans 70115, or you can send money via Zelle or Venmo to my email address.   Also, we can handle everything by email and avoid any post office delivery issues.

Thanks for your efforts and generosity.
 
School Supply Backpack Project – WE NEED YOUR HELP!
COVID has hampered our community service efforts and our annual School Supply Backpack Project is severely impacted due to the inability to hand out backpacks to our members to fill with supplies.  The only option to support this project is to ask for donations to purchase the necessary supplies. Peter has graciously made a very generous donation to kick start this project and we encourage others to follow his example.  Whether returning to school or virtual learning, children desperately need our help in providing them the supplies needed to start school.  Please contact Tara Knowles at taraknowles@nolavirtualsolutions.com to include a donation on your quarterly statement, provide a credit card, or make checks payable to The Rotary Club of New Orleans and mail to:   
Penny Menge 800 Valmont St. New Orleans, LA 70115.  
Zelle or Venmo is also available to:  pennymenge@gmail.com
