An overview of the Teche-Vermilion watershed and how it drains to the Gulf of Mexico will be presented and a list of flood mitigation projects will be reviewed including their status. \nLunch is $25 at the door.

SUMMARY:Lafayette Secret Lunch with Rachel Whittle
DESCRIPTION:Secret Lunch is back with a bang! Citizens for a New Louisiana is partnering with Jill Hines of Health Freedom Louisiana to host lunch with Lafayette’s own Rachel Whittle. Join us as Rachel discusses her new film Protocol 7 in Lafayette on August 17. The film is a true story about a woman victimized by massive corporate fraud in the healthcare industry. \nLunch is $25. RSVP or get a “ticket” to walk straight in without delay. \nRachel Guidry Whittle is known for The Purge\, The Thing about Pam\, NCIS New Orleans\, and Girls Trip. She was born and raised in the heart of Cajun country\, Lafayette\, Louisiana. And while she entered the industry later than some\, she formed a love for storytelling early in life. Growing up\, Rachel’s father would teach her through telling stories rather than just making statements. This was when she learned first-hand the power stories have to teach lessons\, provide escapes\, and form connections. Years later\, these gifts that storytelling offers to the world would pull her into the entertainment industry. \nEver versatile\, she loves working behind the camera just as much as in front and firmly believes in helping wherever needed when on set. Because of this\, Rachel has expanded her knowledge of the various roles on set and now works as a filmmaker\, such as directing and producing. Some of her favorite adventures in the filmmaking arena have come from a comedy sketch filmmakers’ troupe she is a part of called A Dangerous Flock. Rachel’s love lies in authentic storytelling\, whether in front of the camera or behind it. She says it best\, “My favorite thing about filmmaking is that it requires collaboration. No one can do any of this on their own. It takes a beautiful mesh of minds to make it work.”

SUMMARY:Secret Lunch with Congressman Clay Higgins
DESCRIPTION:Join us at DeanO’s on Bertrand Drive for Lunch with Congressman Clay Higgins this Friday\, June 20th\, 2025. Pizza will be provided for a recommended $20 donation. \nAbout Congressman Clay Higgins\nLouisiana didn’t send a politician to Washington—they sent a street cop. Known affectionately as “Uncle Clay” to the people of Acadiana\, Congressman Clay Higgins represents Louisiana’s 3rd Congressional District with the same grit and tenacity that defined his years in law enforcement. With a booming voice and an unflinching commitment to truth\, justice\, and the Constitution\, Higgins has become a force to be reckoned with on the House floor. \nWhen he descended into the belly of the beast—the sprawling leviathan that is the federal government—he vowed to fight for the people\, not the politicians. A fierce defender of Constitutional conservatism\, he frequently invokes the Federalist Papers\, the Declaration of Independence\, and the Constitution itself to hold Washington accountable. His no-nonsense style and ability to cut through bureaucratic double-talk have made him a favorite among those who appreciate direct\, unapologetic leadership. \nWith a law enforcement career rooted in service and integrity\, Higgins was recently entrusted with leading an independent investigation into the assassination attempt on then-candidate Donald J. Trump\, a testament to his fearless pursuit of truth and justice. Whether dismantling liberal narratives in heated committee hearings or standing firm against government overreach\, his unmistakable presence continues to resonate both locally and nationwide. \nAt a time when America needs courageous voices\, Clay Higgins remains a warrior for the Republic\, never backing down from the fight to restore liberty\, accountability\, and the rule of law.
