dj:   From Johnny R(rocket)
I brought Frank & Kim Harbin to the Soirée last night that most of you may not know. They go to that other club (PAC) On the way home, they commented on the great time, the food, the music and all that. As we called it an evening, one final thought was shared. It was clear to them from attending.  A large life force of positive energy was with us last night. A love for each other, Donnie & friends was amazing. Everybody was hugging, crying, laughing. So many emotions filled to museum. Many people in life will never have opportunities to be surrounded by a group of people. We all should be thankful. I know I am. God bless to DJ. From Dr. Dan What a great night!!!! Tony, you are THE MAN. Great job! Meredith Friend, your generosity ended a PERFECT night. (She won the cruise raffle and donated it to Donnie and Tonya.) Dr Dan

I (Tony Z)want to thank everyone who helped make the golf tournament such a great success. I hate to even begin to name names because I can't get to everyone but I'll try. It all started with everyone who came out to our committee meetings: Richard Wilson, Todd Robicheaux, Tony LeMon, Hank Miltenberger, Colonel Thompson, Troy Geautreaux, Jim and Kathy Magee, Sue Beaudreaux, Debra Willie, Robin Roberts, Eddie Boudreau and I'm sure that I'm missing someone. Fernanda did a super job on the logo. Thanks to all of our big sponsors and hole sponsors: Andy Hearn and Alltel, Todd Robicheaux and Allstate, Richard Wilson and Smith Barney, Joe Mossy and Mossy Motors, Kieth Abide and Kelly& Abide, and Colonel Thompson and T.B.D. Thanks to the more than 60 hole sponsors. Ya'll were great. Tournament day was made easy with all the help that showed up. Ben and Clint were work horses keeping the beer flowing. Mango, Robin, Henry, Wayne,and Joe were there helping along with the absolute greatest team of registration/ beer cart ladies ever assembled Nancy Heidensfelder was our organizer and we had Sue Brew, Susan Lemon, Theresa, Margaret, Ginny, Victoria, Debra, Fernanda, Stephanie, Sinai, Missy, Susan Del and I'm sure I'm missing someone important,sorry.Also thanks to all the golfers. I hope that you had a great time.We sure did. See ya'll next year.

Needless to say, all of the events were successful. We expected to do well and surpassed many of our goals. My family, and that includes a lot of folks who “aren't related”, want to thank everyone who has made me feel like I've won “the LOVE Lottery”. I feel the love and prayers, daily. Getting better and stayin upright…Donnie(dj)             

A great friend, Beth and Donnie.
