Ronald McDonald House: The Alumni has taken on another Community Project to raise
money for the local Ronald McDonald House. Brenda will be the Chairperson for this ongoing project
of collecting the "pull tabs" from drink cans and soup cans. The money raised from this project will
be earmarked for keeping their van running. The van is used to pick up families and take the
parents back and forth to the hospital to visit their child. So, please start collecting your pull tabs.
A location to drop off your "pull tabs" has been secured in Belle Chasse thanks to Todd LaValla of Vacation
Makers Travel. The store is located at 8160 Hwy. 23, B.C., between Popeyes & BCHS and is open from 8 - 4, M - F. The
pull tabs can also either be picked up locally by Brenda or brought to the Annual Fall Fest on October 9th. You
