Happy 100 Years Jaguar Nation. May the

Lord bless us with 100 more years.

The month of September has been ex-

tremely busy for our chapter. We had a

very productive Chapter meeting on Sep-

tember 3rd (full of ideas, game plans, up-

dates and so much more).

It is extremely important for the executive

body to stay in contact with you, so provide

Kellie Moore, Secretary with your most up-

to-date mailing & email address,

phone number, emergency contact, and

date of birth. We want to keep you in-

formed, enlightened, and connected.

I encourage all of our members to own the

Nutrition Drive. This project is helping in

ways you cannot imagine.

Don’t forget to purchase your SU Apparel from

your local Albertson Stores in Baton Rouge and

Alexandria, as well as, Top Choice.

Finally, wishing all of the Home Chapter

Members who are celebrating October birthdays

a very special “Happy Birthday”.

Support the Fundraisers by purchasing your

“Yard Sign & T-Shirt today”!
