etterf r o m t h e E d i t o rREBUILD, REBIRTH AND REJUVENATE is what we are celebratingin the Winter issue of Lagniappe. I couldn’t be more proud of the Junior League and ourefforts of dedication, commitment and determination to revitalize Freret Street. We are notalone in this quest, as Freret Love is taking over the city. Just in the past year, many new businesseshave sprouted on the new Freret Arts and Entertainment District, which is just eightblocks long, including Freret Street Yoga, Acora, Dat Dog and Company Burger just toname a few. A special thanks to JLNOs’ Bloomin’ Deals Thrift Shop for moving there in1960 and starting the trend. Also visit www.thenewfreret.com for all the latest and greatesthappenings on the new Freret Street.Also in this issue, I had the pleasure of meeting Asia Magee and Ihsan Abdullah, two childrenwho attend Samuel J. Green Charter School. Green is located on Valence Street just offof Freret. The school started a new learning program, The Edible Schoolyard, after Katrina,in an effort to rebuild the Freret neighborhood and community. JLNO and our Freret StreetNeighborhood chairwomen work hard to support the school specifically working to maintainand sustain the Edible Schoolyard. The ladies also are heavily involved in activities allyear long promoting the growth of Freret Street. Thank you Freret NeighborhoodCommittee as well as the Thrift Shop Committee for all of your hard work in strengtheningand loving Freret.I hope you enjoy our Winter Issue. It continues to amaze me how many hands go into makingeach issue a success. I want to thank my assistant editor Sarah Roy, as well as my photographyEditor and Assistant Editor, Jessica Chin (formerly Cook) and Kellen Pirri. Our team isrock solid! We have exciting plans for the Spring and Summer issues. Stay Tuned.Have a great holiday season,Caitlin6 Lagniappe
