NCLA TEA Party Meeting

Russel L. Honore` is coming to Ruston. The North Central Louisiana TEA Party is pleased to host General Honore` for their June meeting. The meeting will be held on Monday, June 8th at 6:00 PM at the Ruston Country Club, located at 2000 S. Vienna (Hwy 167S). There is no charge to attend the meeting and all citizens are invited. Gen. Honore` is a dynamic and passionate speaker and his presentation promises to be informative and enlightening. A retired Lieutenant General, United States Army, Gen. Honore` is best known in Louisiana for serving as commander of Joint Task Force Katrina responsible for coordinating military relief efforts for Hurricane Katrina-affected areas across the Gulf Coast. After his retirement in 2008, Gen. Honore` became involved in environmental issues when residents from Bayou Corne - frustrated by the lack of action in the wake of a devastating sinkhole - requested assistance. Gen. Honore` came to recognize the barrage of environmental issues facing Louisiana, from the levee board lawsuit to clean water, and he decided something needed to change. He turned his attention to mobilizing the GreenARMY, an alliance of civic and community environmental groups and concerned citizens from around the state ready to effect meaningful social, political, and environmental change in Louisiana.
