Members of the Baton Rouge Art League gathered at the LSU Rural Life Museum to decorate for the organization's 75-year Diamond Jubilee Art Exhibition and Sale. This annual event is held to raise funds for the purchase of a painting for the Art League's permanent collection. Guests are invited by Art League members, and attendance is by invitation only.
Carol Arabie and Jamie Berdon arrange a large vase of willow, palms, and other greenery. Jamie stuffed a half-dozen fresh, large, white hydrangea blooms in the bottom of the vase to make an attractive base for the plants.
The Baton Rouge Art League was organized in 1934 to:
1. cultivate appreciation of art among its members and the community,
2. hold an art exhibit each year,
3. try to purchase one painting each year,
4. work toward developing art in the public school curriculum, and
5. present a scholarship to an LSU student native to Louisiana.
The Art League's permanent collection of artwork hangs in the Louisiana State Archives.

This beautiful home sits at the entrance to the north side of The Lake at White Oak Subdivision. A wide expanse of colorful gardens and green lawn gives owners and visitors a welcome invitation to see more of the neighborhood. Congratulations to the homeowners. We appreciate you!
Weather forecasts called for snow, but who would have guessed anything liked this! My husband got up in the early hours around 5:30 am to take out the dog, then came in and woke me to see! And of course we had to wake our daughter. Here we were, up before sunrise, and got a lot of photos. We spent the whole morning playing in the backyard with the dogs ... they loved it!! At one point it was very much like a blizzard. We got about 4 inches in the Lake at White Oak. Some neighborhood boys came around and made a snowman for us ... nice kids!!
Merry Christmas, Sallie

Colorful crotons and ceramic pots adorn these beautiful gardens. Special features like the blue
glass ball add focal points that highlight the area. In September and October there were no awards
due to the impact of Hurricane Gustav. The streets in LAWO were lined on both sides with 8-foot
high piles of debris. It's nice to have everything back to normal, and these gardens show how
much work has been put into the cleanup project. Congratulations to the homeowners.
