Mardi Gras report & upcoming events

Travelites’ Mardi Gras was a hoot and a half.  The masks, the beads, the wonderful Cajun dishes were the best ever from the crawfish pies to the jambalaya to the etouffe’ plus the varied and scrumptious desserts.   The weather was warm and sunny as this event began.  Our hosts’ home both on the deck and indoors was beautiful and the hospitality unsurpassed.   The hot tub was relaxing, the Wii game fun, the guitar playing and just the people really made the event.  We definitely look forward to visiting with Terry & Paul in the near future.  Two photos were posted to the club`s Yahoo group The club’s next event is the annual St. Patrick’s Day party on March 12 in Leesville.  The club will supply the corned beef. Others are asked to bring sides and desserts.  When you RSVP in the positive, directions will be shared.  The event begins at 4.
