ROR’s 3rd Annual Rendezvous

Celebrating Coast & Colonels

Restore or Retreat started the month of November by gathering with great company to celebrate another year of great coastal efforts at the 3^rd annual Rendezvous! For this year’s theme, we wanted to stick close to “home”…

Daily, ROR’s advocacy aims to expedite the implementation of large-scale restoration projects in the Barataria and Terrebonne basins, which complements the coastal restoration research, education, and active student engagement our region’s bayou-side university offers. In keeping with the coastal theme of the evening, ROR joined celebratory forces with Nicholls State University to acknowledge the college’s growing coastal education and community involvement in coastal efforts by sharing Nicholls’ motto of “closest to the coast.”

Bringing to life ROR’s mission of saving our coast, community, and culture, we had the traditional Cajun sounds of Cajun Music Preservation Society to tie into our culture while the décor of marsh grasses and cattails reminded our community of attendants about our coast! Diverse silent auction items included alligator and duck hunts, delicious food with a Cajun flare, and spirits that even a “Coastal Colonel” would love, kept the evening and fellowship lively!
