This was a necessary donation as the Slidell Boys and Girls Club was damaged in Hurricane Katrina.

“The Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs of America has been a visible contributor to the families and children of New Orleans, during and post Hurricane Katrina,” said Jordan. “Slidell is a community that has been somewhat overlooked in recovery efforts, and we are proud to aid with its rebuilding and leave a lasting legacy for the community.”

It’s nice to know that people haven’t put New Orleans off their radar.

I don’t know girlfriend. I respect your pride but that didn’t read like a joke to me.
