Hey LMT!

I'll keep this really short, because I'm paying out the wazoo per minute at a little UPS somewhere in Gulf Breeze, FL.... but I just wanted to let you all know that I am still alive & actively checking up (and watching over) all of you. Excellent props to Marti, Shannon, Robert, and others at LSU-E for their outstanding work in trying to get that club together. I'm also very proud (although there were some kinks) in the cabinet for this past weekend, you all went above & beyond-- and yes, Michael-- you received the Governor's Shoutout for that one, too! More on that later though...

If anyone needs to call me, feel free, I have my phone on me at all times.. 504-237-8396.... otherwise, you can direct all comments to Alison. Keep a look out for your mailboxes--- several of you who went above and beyond this past weekend will receive little surprises via the US Postal Service....

Until next time-- remember, the Sky's the Limit--- and we are now several steps closer to achieving our goals.... by how much we've already gotten done, as well as how much I see you all doing while I'm away, I can only imagine what we will do in the weeks to come!

Can't wait to see everyone when I return!

--Rebecca

PS -- Baton Rouge/Lafayette ladies-- I am SURE you are breathing sighs of relief right now... it's hard to keep track of the Serial Killer here, but you were all in my prayers, and I'm glad that I know that you're all much safer. For everyone else-- please be careful as you travel & go on vacations (like me!)

Hey LaMissTenn

I promise this one will not be as long as the last one I did, just a few reminders and dates to keep in mind as we approach the lovely month of June, along with a few other random notes.

Cabinet training was this weekend. I think it's safe to say that there were a few kinks in the plan and it did not quite go according to schedule the way it was supposed to. There is nowhere to place the blame that would be fair, so I'd just like to thank the Cabinet members who were in attendance (Chassidy, Mickey, Brandy, Bobby, Tommy, Robert, Michael, Todd & Lisa). You all showed great dedication to your position.

Also, this weekend the Cabinet selected a Cabinet Director who will be working as a communication liaison between the board and cabinet. I am proud to announce that this year's Cabinet Director is Mickey DuPont from Northwestern State University.

I'd also like to take a moment to proclaim that I have decided to name a Secretary/Treasurer's Outstanding Cabinet Member to be awarded when a Cabinet member goes above and beyond their duties and responsibilities. This honor is awarded today to your District Technology Chair, Michael Arcement. Michael went out of his way this weekend to get to training after his ride bailed on him at the last minute. He has also been busy designing the layout for the website and posting files for feedback to the Cabinet reflector. Thanks for you hard work, Michael, and keep up the great work!
