The meal of fried catfish and white beans and rice was prepared by Sterling and Pat Fryou, Floyd and Shirley Hymel, and Carol and Hubert Francis. Sponsors addressed the crowd following dinner.
St. Mary AARP President Curtis Leonard presided for the meeting in which the 2014 St. Mary AARP scholarship awards were presented. Scholarship committee members Helen Ross and Lydia Landry presented the scholarships to Logan Scully, a Morgan City High School graduate, and Bobby Boudreaux, a Berwick High School graduate.
