New Orleans Trip Update: We still need to come up with a total of $200 to cover the remaining cost for the New Orleans trip. We are still hopeful that we can get some more donations before we leave on the trip. But, each of us should plan on paying a maximum balance of $20 for our trip to New Orleans in June.
