Hello alumni,

First, Scott and I would like to thank all of you who filled out and submitted your information to help us determine the demand for another Mardi Gras parade next year. Though the total number of responses was less than we had received for the past two Mardi Gras, we appreciate everyone's submissions. We have a few new alumni that indicated that they want to do the project. We've also had many veteran project alumni members suggesting that they want a change after two Mardi Gras parades in a row. Considering these points, a different venue should be looked at to satisfy more interest from everyone.
