Please join us for a very special luncheon. I am sure this will be touching and memorable. You don’t want to miss this. Join us next Thursday, September 14, with a wonderful 3-course luncheon at Brennan’s. Here’s the link to buy your ticket to hold your seat https://vcpora.org/schwartz-gage-award/ I’ve worked with an endless number of elected officials in my 30+ years of volunteering for New Orleans’ French Quarter. Over the decades, in our struggle to protect our world-famous architecture and to keep the Quarter as a viable neighborhood, many office-holders have stood up for us. (Um, some, not so much… 😊) Not taking away from others who truly helped, honestly, Jackie Clarkson was in a league of her own. She: - got the city to create, and got the public to vote into the City Charter, a master plan “with the force of law.”
- stopped time shares in the French Quarter.
- protected the artists’ colony at Jackson Square.
- put regulations on the nightly walking ghost tours which used to go as late as midnight.
- fought against “spot zoning” again and again.
- fought to keep the French Quarter “hotel moratorium.”
- took charge of the re-opening of the Mahalia Jackson Theater in Armstrong Park.
Oh, that’s just the beginning of the list…
