All hands on deck! It’s time to jump on board with the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation (LPBF) for the 18th Annual Save Our Lake & Coast “Let’s Make Waves” Party and Silent Auction. LPBF is thrilled to announce Chef John Besh as this year’s Honorary Chair. Join us on Friday, November 5, 2010 from 7:00-10:00 PM at the Pontchartrain Yacht Club in Mandeville for a fun-filled night of music, dancing, wonderful food provided by local restaurants – including Besh’s acclaimed restaurants Luke & La Provence – cocktails and an awesome silent auction. So put on your best nautical attire and come ready to dance to the music provided by Overboard.

Sheila Ehren Englert, LPBF’s Development and Outreach Director said, our auction chairs, Marilyn Mislove and Linda Colombo have secured some really fun and unique items.” She promises, “We have such a variety that there will be something of interest for everyone to bid on.” Some of the items include: a 4-day cruise, a Saints football signed by Drew Brees, hotel stays, a tree house bed and breakfast, a specialized barbecue grill, artwork, jewelry, and even a puppy!

Englert added, “There are many ways for citizens and businesses to support the “Let’s Make Waves” Party. Sponsorship packets are available from $250 to $2,500, which include tickets to the party and recognition in the event program, at the event, and on LPBF’s website. Individual tickets are available for $50 in advance and $60 at the door.”

Those purchasing tickets to the party will also receive a print of Goose Point by local artist Emery Clark. Clark uses the vocabulary of landscape and seascape as a celebration of nature, to create a sense of peace and as an acknowledgement of the need to revere and preserve our environment. This nationally recognized artist has donated 100% of the proceeds of these prints of Lake Pontchartrain marshland to support the efforts of the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation in protecting our fragile ecosystem.

Please contact the Foundation at (504) 836-2205 for sponsorship information, to donate an item for the auction or to purchase tickets. All proceeds from the party will help to continue efforts to restore and preserve the Pontchartrain Basin.

“Move Over Television, Marketing is Moving to Your Phone.”

SPEAKER: Neel Sus, CEO, Susco Solutions & Touch Studios

DESCRIPTION: Considering that most people would rather lose their wallet than misplace their cell phone, it’s fitting that the mobile world is quickly becoming a new hub for business. For many of us, our cell phone never leaves our side. It holds a place at the dinner table, is easily accessible in your bag’s front pocket, and often, somehow it even manages to end up sharing your pillow at night. Busy schedules mean people are often on the move and when marketers and companies can’t reach consumers at their computers, on TV, before the previews at the movies, with billboards, or magazine and newspaper ads, they must feel assured that they can still reach them on their cell phones.
