Mardi Gras is just around the corner, so I want to make sure I invite everyone to a wonderful Mardi Gras Fundraiser, that Belle Reve will benefit from, and of course, we will attend. We sure hope you will consider coming to this GREAT MARDI GRAS EXTRAVAGANZA XI.

The Friday Night Before Mardi Gras EXTRAVAGANZA XI "Cirque du Sogay" will be held on Friday, February 12, 2010, at the Audubon Tea Room in Audubon Park, at 6500 Magazine Street.

The Friday Night Before Mardi Gras organization is a non-profit organization that raises money for HIV/AIDS organizations in New Orleans. Belle Reve is one of the recipient organization that receives some of the money raised at this event. So I am asking every

one to come to this fabulous event and support FNBMG, Belle Reve and other HIV/AIDS organizations in New Orleans; while at the same time, having a GRAND TIME at a WONDERFUL PARTY. It is a costume party, but, if you don’t like to costume, you can

wear a formal gown or a tuxedo (or you can come in dragJ)

Tickets to EXTRAVAGANZA XI can be found on the FNBMG website at:
