Having captured the attention of audiences in New York City the Boys have taken their show across the country offering high-energy performances with the hottest male voices straight from New York. The Visual & Performing Arts Center in Zachary, La. will come alive as the first professional stage performance captivates audience members with a lively selection of pop, funk, gos-pel, jazz, and folk that will draw ap-proximately 500 guests from Zach-ary, the Feliciana’s, and the greater Baton Rouge area.

The Broadway Boys always de-liver dynamic entertainment with performances that contain soaring vocals, explosive energy, and soul

rocking rhythms that leave captivat-ed audiences demanding encores at every stop of their tour. This event offers businesses and community

members the unique opportunity to experience a top-notch event.

In addition to a performance, a Masters class for local actors/sing-ers will be taught the day before the event, coached by members of the show. Cast members of the Broadway Boys will coach the class members on a song from the show, and the class will perform on stage during the Saturday performance, providing a wonderful professional exposure for our local talent. For more information on the class, con-tact Margaret Harmon at 225-788-5999 or email [email protected].

City of Zachary to Borrow $10,000,000 to Improve Roads

The Zachary City Council vot-ed unanimously at last Tuesday’s meeting to ask the State Bond Commission to borrow $10 mil-lion for road improvements. The burden on taxpayers would not be for more 17 years at a rate of less than 7 percent interest.

Bond attorney Jerry Osborne, a lawyer with Foley & Judell of New Orleans, told the council that the money would be paid back to the using the city’s share of the parish’s half-cent road tax rev-enue, but in the event that the tax does not generate enough money

to pay back the bond amount, the city will have to use other tax rev-enue from the local taxpayers.

Zachary’s land use plan iden-tifies streets that should be im-proved, in addition Church Street in front of LeBlanc’s Supermarket and the intersection of La. 64 and La. 964 would be included in the projects.

Last Fall, Zachary voters changed the home rule charter to give the Mayor and City Council the ability to borrow money and bond out revenue without a vote of the citizens of Zachary.

Father Gerard Siebold (pictured center), who lives in residence at the Rectory of St. John the Baptist in Zachary, celebrated his 60th year as a Redemptorist last week. Father Jerry is a retired Redemptorist priest. While he is no longer in active ministry with his religious order, he remains active! Father Jerry celebrates the full Catholic Mass monthly at Grace Nursing Home and Zachary Manor; Communion Service at Lane Regional; and Mass weekly at Oakwood Village Assisted Living Community. Father Jerry also makes emer-gency visits to Lane Regional Medical Center, administering Last Rites to those in need.

Auxiliary Volunteers contribute to Lane in many ways, such as directing guests at the information desk, distrib-uting ice, water, coffee, mail and maga-zines to patients, providing information and helping family members in the emergency room and various waiting rooms, visiting with nursing home resi-dents, and manning the hospital Gift Shop.

Hospital volunteers are very special people dedicated to helping others. Join-ing the Auxiliary is an excellent way to share your blessings, meet new people and make new friends. Your time and effort will make a difference to the pa-tients and families at Lane.

BREC’s Baton Rouge Zoo Receives National Award for Marketing Campaign

BREC’s Baton Rouge Zoo was recently selected to receive the Na-tional Kudo’s Marketing Award by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA). NRPA will present the award publicly at a spe-cial reception at the association’s 2013 Congress & Exposition in Houston, TX on Wednesday, Oct. 9.

Each year, NRPA National Awards are presented to individu-als and agencies across the U.S. to honor their efforts-both professional and personal-in the field of parks and recreation. Recipients are se-lected from a pool of applicants by NRPA’s National Awards and Schol-arship Committee, and are chosen for excellence in a variety of topics, including professional and volun-tary service, programming, leader-ship, research and public outreach.

For BREC’s Baton Rouge Zoo, the overall message of the 2012 mar-keting campaign was “Geaux Wild.” This particular message was chosen for its double meaning: “Geaux” is the colloquial version of “go” in

Louisiana as the word often de-notes support for something. Using the phrase “Geaux Wild” helped the Zoo create a message of “support our wildlife conservation efforts.” Geaux Wild’s second meaning was a call to action: go to the Zoo and see what is new at your commu-nity’s Zoo.

“The Geaux Wild campaign was exceedingly effective in creating public awareness. Our community immediately identifies with the word “Geaux,” and the Zoo capi-talized on this instant identification to lend authenticity, reconizability and likeability to our Zoo and parks system,” said Mary Woods, former Friends of the Zoo Marketing Di-rector.

A zoo creative team brainstorm-ing session led to the 2012 “Geaux Wild” marketing campaign which was created, designed and imple-mented by Woods, Kris Bordelon, Graphic Designer for BREC and Erin O’Neill, Publicity and Market-ing Manager for BREC.
