A Toast to New Orleans and YOU. Happy ,healthy, safe 2022 Carnival Season.


 
Before I share with you my past week and what is there to come, i want to make sure that you know, that In the interest of keeping my guests, speakers, entertainers and friends safe from the spread of COVID, I am cancelling the Round Table Luncheon on January 19. I look forward to celebrating at the RTL Saluting Mardi Gras on Feb.16. It is going to be a spectacular celebration and we will select a King and Queen of 2022. The celebration will be s noon at Briquette's . The $65 is all inclusive. You can reserve  now by Zelle, Venmo or by sending a check to Margarita Bergen, 811 Marigny Street, Unit C, New Orleans, Louisiana 70117. If you have a credit, please let me know ASAP.  
Good day, my darling family and friends. A cold Monday, January 10 awaits us. Let's welcome it with a smile on our face, even though our hearts are broken, and playoffs hopes  were again dashed by the Rams, but our beloved Saints were victorious against the Falcons.
Let's attack Monday with enthusiasm, laughter, thousands of smiles, and cheerfulness. Let this Monday be kind to you: be happy with what you have and accept the things which you cannot change. Keep a smile on your face and face the day with big positive energy. You’ll find that your positive energy will bounce back off other people, which will result in you and everyone around you having a wonderful day. May your week be filled with love, health, and laughter!
