We are kicking the year off with a truly special gathering, and we want you there! Our January ABK Acadiana meeting will feature a guest speaker who embodies the heart, history, and soul of Louisiana: Jourdan Thibodeaux!

If you've ever heard him speak or play, then you already know the energy that he brings. Jourdan is a proud Cajun-French-speaking native of Cypress Island, Louisiana, and the lead of the beloved band Jourdan Thibodeaux et les Rodailleurs. His music celebrates our heritage, and now he's joining to celebrate our culture and dive into what makes it so unique and important to preserve.

Fun fact: Jourdan will be performing at our upcoming Save the Basin event!

Space is limited for this event, so be sure to reserve your spot today!

ABK members will receive priority access to tickets before public registration opens on December 17th. 

The event is free to attend, but donations are always appreciated and help support Jourdan's work.
