Alumna Angela Parker and her husband, Dr. David Sink, who is on the UALR faculty kicked off promoting Taste of New Orleans, a fundraiser they are chairing in March 2011 to benefit the Alumni Association Scholarship Fund. They passed out maroon Mardi Gras beads with a Taste of New Orleans save-the-date reminder attached to those attending the Association’s Burgers at Bailey event kicking off the new school year.

The chairs had their first committee meeting last week with talk of scrumptious New Orleans cuisine and jazz music ─ all the elements of a fun event. To get involved with the Taste event, call the Association office at 501-683-7208.
