Community Outreach Day on May 1 at the Community Center of St Bernard

On Friday, May 1, 2009 the Community Center of St Bernard at 1107
LeBeau St, Arabi will host a variety of fun and informative outreach
events for local residents. The day will begin with a Breakfast Walk
through scenic Old Arabi at 9 AM, led by visiting volunteer Lois
Krasilovsky from Marlborough, MA. Participants will meet at the
Community Center and then follow LeBeau St to the historic LeBeau
Plantation House which was built in 1854. The route will continue down
Friscoville St and along the Mississippi River levee. Walkers will
return to the Community Center by way of Angela St, with its colorful
homes and gardens. 

Following the walk, participants and community members are welcome to
visit the Community Center at 10 AM to enjoy a free healthy breakfast
of fresh fruit and toast, served with scrambled Egg Beaters ™. Made
from real eggs, Egg Beaters ™ are low in both fat and cholesterol. A
handout with tips for preparing healthy, nutritious meals will also be
available.

After the Breakfast, residents are invited to attend a free leadership
seminar, “Thriving in Challenging and Opportunistic Times: Practical
Tips for Personal and Business Success Today” at 11 AM. Taught by
Scott Annan, entrepreneur and leadership educator, the talk will focus
on what you can do for yourself and your business to turn any economy
into one of opportunity, fulfillment, and prosperity. Scott, from New
York City, serves as a financial analyst at a top-tier bank, is
currently starting an online business, and leads mentorship programs
in Manhattan high schools. The leadership seminar will be held at the
Community Center of St Bernard Annex Building, 1111 LeBeau St. No
registration is needed and everyone is invited to attend.

At 1 PM, Scott will present a second seminar: “5 Things You Should
Know about Your Personal Finances”. This introductory workshop will
explain basic financial principles like income, expenses, debt, credit
and budgets. Participants will receive practical tips for
understanding their current financial situation, and learn steps they
can take to improve their financial future. The financial seminar will
also be held at the Community Center of St Bernard Annex Building,
1111 LeBeau St. The seminar is free to the public and no registration
is needed.
