NEWEST NEW ORLEANIANS’ BREAKFAST (2007)

THE SIXTH ANNUAL NEWEST ORLEANIANS’ BREAKFAST WITH THE MAYOR

The 2007 Newest New Orleanians’ Breakfast with the Mayor is scheduled for 8:00 on Thursday, October 25, 2007 at Gallier Hall. 

 

Last year over 300 newcomers as well as returnees enjoyed the Creole breakfast provided by Dorignac’s Food Center, delicious pastries from La Boulangerie, and N. O. Brew coffee.  The program included welcoming remarks from C. Ray Nagin, Mayor of the City of New Orleans, and John Young, Council-at-Large, Division A, Jefferson Parish. In addition, exhibits from over 38 non-profit organizations provided our area’s newest citizens an introduction to the region, its culture, and its residents.

 

The concept of the Newest Orleanians’ Breakfast with the Mayor is based on a similar program in Boston that was designed to capture the enthusiasm of the newcomer as well as enhance the image of their new home town. Traditionally, our complimentary breakfast introduced the city’s newest citizens to the city, its culture, and its residents by providing information about upcoming community and cultural events, continuing education, and volunteer opportunities.  In 2006, the format of the breakfast was expanded to include a celebration of the city’s re-birth post Katrina.
