PROGRAM
Today we had the pleasure of having as our guest speaker Mr. Louis J. Capo, Director of Real Estate, Recreational & Non-Flood Assets and Sharon Martini, both with the Orleans Levee District.Â
The Orleans Levee District (the District) was established by Act 93 of the 1890 General Assembly (Legislature) of the State of Louisiana. The District is primarily responsible for the operation and maintenance of levees, embankments, seawalls, jetties, breakwaters, water basins, and other hurricane and flood protection improvements surrounding the City of New Orleans, including the southern shores of Lake Pontchartrain and along the Mississippi River. The District is responsible for the maintenance of 104.8 miles of levees and floodwalls, 200 floodgates, 103 flood valves, and two flood control structures.
Mr. Capo showed us a Power Point Presentation on the many projects both with the Flood Division and Non-Flood Division that have been ongoing since Hurricane Katrina.Â
We wish to thank Mr. Capo and his associate Sharon Martini for a very informative program.
BUSINESS GROUPS
As most of you know, some of our members have been trying to join a GNOEA Business Group for some time, but have been unsuccessful due to the fact that most of the Business Groups are content with their current membership. Robbie Ventura has graciously agreed to help organize a new Business Group with the help of Michael Mitchell and Robert Ramsey acting as mentors for the group.  Here are some of the members that have already signed up to join this business group; Robbie Ventura, Stanton Murray, Kevin Alker, Bryon Hatrel, and Charlie Eshleman.
If you would like to find our more information about joining a Business Group or would like to join one, then please email me at susan@gnoea.com.
NEW MEMBER
Recently, GNOEA has gained a new member into our association, Dr. Troy Patterson with Oak Family Dental and his Classification is “Dentist, Generalâ€.Â
Please, let us all take a few minutes to welcome him!

New rosters were handed out and put on each of the table at yesterday’s breakfast meeting. These new rosters are now in Word format and can be easily printed on legal size paper. If you would like to receive a copy of the roster by email for your own files, then please send your requests to me by email.Â
