We are going to miss Catherine Freeman and her phenomenal column, “Making a Difference.” She was with us for three years and introduced us to so many nonprofits in which we could get involved. Good luck to you in all of your endeavors!
As we go through this pandemic, we at St. Charles Avenue magazine, want to thank our advertisers who have been so loyal. My column features Home Malone, Feet First, Betty Hunley Designs, Judy at the Rink and Starr Hagenbring of Art & Eyes! I am excited to share a group of advertisers with you each month, and I urge you to go visit them and mention that you saw them in our magazine! Thanks to you all!

The Young Leadership Council is reviving their “Proud To Call it Home Campaign” by encouraging everyone to buy a Garden Flag for $20 or a Porch Flag for $40. This flag was designed by YLC member Lorraine Lorio and they want all New Orleanians to display them to remind everyone to come together to put public health and safety first during this pandemic! Purchases directly support YLC’s volunteer-led community projects that develop the young leaders moving New Orleans toward a more equitable, inclusive and prosperous future for everyone!
Please visit YLCNola.org/proud/to/call/it/home or call 858-1500 to purchase a flag today!
