King & Queen Mon Ami XVI

Todd & Brandy Kieschnick

Sponsored by Kieschnick Industries

Saturday, January 30th, Krewe Mon Ami

transformed the MCM Elegante into

our very own Island Paradise Fantasy!

Palm trees, luscious tidbits to eat, exotic flowers,

the sounds of a steel band...

Our fantasy began......

Thanks for a terrific production goes to our sponsors,

 US Coast Guard Color Guard-Port Arthur Station,

 Jimi Jams Productions, Broussard Productions,

 and the best emcees ever, Jay Bernard and Bill Leger. 

Many, many people worked to make our

Ball a huge success, Director of Ball, Jeanne Sain, 

did long distance planning

 from her new home in South Dakota. 

Without the help of many people the

magic of Saturday night's Fantasy

would not have been possible. 

Big thank you's go to the staff of the MCM Elegante

 for making us welcome and providing us

with a beautiful venue.

On a very cold night, we gave our

members and guests a warm welcome to our

Island Paradise Fantasy.

SEPTEMBER 18th! Mark your calendars! Annual Membership Party at Dylan's on 9th, VIP Room, 7:30-Midnight. Come join the fun, visit with old friends, meet new friends, we'll have Krewe Gear available to buy, snacks furnished and you can pay your dues that night. Hope to see you there!

it's in place right after our 2011 Ball. 2012 will be our

"fun" year. We alternate with a "fun" year & a "regal"

year. So think of something that is a "Fun Fantasy" &

write up a plan of decor & costume ideas. Email it to krewemonami94@yahoo.com

Must have your submission in by December 1, 2010!

Final selection will be made by the board of directors.

French Quarter Invasion

Hey Mon Ami!  It's been a LONG time since we hit New Orleans as a group.  Many of ya'll have done this in the past.  We chartered a bus, loaded it with people and ice chests and headed down I-10, hit New Orleans and partied for the weekend then rode back home bringing lot's of great memories and maybe a headache or two.  We get a group rate on hotel rooms and share in the cost of the bus.  We do this in the early part of June and are looking to plan a trip for June 2011.  We want to know is there any interest from the Krewe in putting this together?  Please email Jody at jholton3@gt.rr.com  if you are interested in making the trip.  No commitments at this time, we just want an idea if enough people are interested to make it possible.

A Thank You Note........

The following was posted on our Facebook page by Cathrue's neice.

Michelle Savoie Hi everyone! Wanted to say "Thank you!" for the beautiful float named after my precious Auntie. I know she loved Krewe Mon Ami and cherished all the great times she had with you all. My grandmother, Kitty, was just overwhelmed with pride!!! Great job! Wish I could've been there to see it in person. God Bless You all!
