Please join us on September 5, 2024, at 7 p.m. for this year’s second General Membership meeting at the Terrytown Golden Age Center, 620 Heritage Avenue, Terrytown. John Scurich, our guest speaker, will talk about the Marquis de La Fayette who lived a fascinating life advocating for freedom, and equality of all people. Beginning in the late 1980s, John worked in campaigns on the parish level, beginning with judgeships and local government, and then on the state and federal level. Since the mid-1990s, John has also periodically worked as a legislative staff member for both the Louisiana Senate and House of Representatives. He is currently a staff member for the House. Additionally, he has often consulted for lobbyist organizations such as the Louisiana Association of Business & Industry and has contributed to Louisiana publications such as The Hayride. For over 30 years John Scurich was a Louisiana high school and NCAA baseball umpire having umpired district and state championships, as well as all Louisiana universities and Southeastern conference teams, and the NCAA post-season. His most recent passion is his dedication to the near century-old historical society, the American Friends of Lafayette, of which he is a lifetime member and serves as Committee Chairman for their upcoming events celebrating the Bicentennial of General et Marquis de La Fayette’s visit to New Orleans in April of 1825.
