 On Sunday, September 20, our Louisiana fundraising event took place at Bayona in the French Quarter and raised significant funds for the campaigns of the Gulf Restoration Network.  Ivor van Heerden talked about current issues facing Louisiana’s wetlands. The seventy-five attendees enjoyed samplings of hors d'oeurves by Chef Susan Spicer and her staff, listened to music by the Leon "Kid Chocolate" Brown Trio and bid on fabulous silent auction offeri ngs including Voodoo Experience VIP tickets, an Aveda gift bag from Paris Parker Salon and Spa, a certificate for a cooking class at the Savvy Gourmet, a sculpture by artist Joan Kay, and paintings by artists Nancy Adams and Beth Skrmetta.  GRN staff also thanked Edwin Neill III of the Neill Corporation, an Aveda distributor, for their tremendous fundraising efforts for GRN during Aveda Earth Month.
GRN extends special thanks to:
