Our February Senior Mayor for a Day is Mr. Lloyd Clement; Nominated by the Senior Citizen's Center:  Mr. Lloyd Clement, born in Thibodaux, says he enjoys going to the Senior Citizen's Center twice a week to exercise.  Honorary Mayor Clement worked many years as a welder, went into business for himself, then finally retired at age 62.  He's married to Goldie Clement and has one daughter, twin boys and a total of 14 grandchildren.  Since it's Mardi Gras time, he mentioned that he has been King Sucrose and has previously been a member of Chronos.  After visiting with Honorary Mayor Clement three days after the event, he stated, "I learned a lot about the City during the staff meeting.  Everything was just wonderful." 
Mayor Caillouet, Honorary Mayor Clement and the City's administration all shared a wonderful lunch at Bubba's II Po-Boys (courtesy of Bubba's II Po-Boys).

Lester Benoit, Lisa Thibodaux and Community Bank co-sponsored an event on February 18 to 'Salute to the Thibodaux Police Department.'  Chief Howard Robertson stated, "The evening was an overwhelming success!  I looked around the room at the officers in attendance, and I was impressed!"  Mr. Benoit's newly renovated building was packed with numerous business leaders, government officials and members from our community to show support to our local police department.  Lt. Malcolm Dupre stated, "This was a great step forward and you could feel it in the air.  People were giving thanks from their heart to the Thibodaux Police Department and asking questions to the police officers on the side, or in an open forum."
