Mayor Tommy Eschete has announced that due to damage caused to a piling on the Tiger Drive Bridge, the bridge will remain closed until further notice. A complete inspection and investigation into the structural integrity of the bridge has been scheduled to determine what repairs will be necessary and when we may be able to reopen the span. Please determine an alternate route when traveling in the area so as to avoid congestion and potential delays.

The Alzheimer’s Association is inviting Bayou area residents to unite in a movement to reclaim the future for millions by participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s®. The organization is kicking off the engagement with a Luncheon at Caillouet Land, LLC located at 405 W 3rd Street in Thibodaux from 12 - 1 PM. The Space is generously donated by The Caillouet Land. Guest Speaker, Dr. Richard Lasseigne, will share his personal story of his journey with Alzheimer’s Disease in hopes of inspiring others in his situation. Alzheimer Association staff will also be sharing resources available to the community and how to get involved in the upcoming Walk to End Alzheimer’s through sponsorship, volunteering, and registering as a team.
Now, Alzheimer’s disease has officially become the most expensive disease in America with costs set to skyrocket in the years ahead. As the sixth leading cause of death in our country, over 5,000,000 Americans are living with the disease. Over 93,000 of those are living in our state of Louisiana. One in three seniors will die from Alzheimer’s disease and women in their 60s are twice as likely to get dementia or Alzheimer’s as they are to get breast cancer. But, there is a reason to hope; especially in the Bayou area community! The Alzheimer’s Association, Louisiana Chapter kicks off its season of fundraising this year through the Walk to End Alzheimer’s in New Orleans.
ABOUT THE KICK-OFF LUNCH ON AUGUST 16:
The Bayou Area Walk to End Alzheimer’s® continues to grow bigger and better! The Kick-Off is fun and inspiring for the community. This year, Caillouet Land, LLC will host the lunch from Noon to 1 pm. This is a free event, however, registration is encouraged! All attendees will receive a ticket for door prizes and will learn how to get involved with the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Attendees will enjoy lunch followed by a short presentation. Alzheimer’s staff will be available after the presentation to answer any questions. Register for the Walk and receive a Team Captain Guide and some cool swag. RSVP at https://AlzKickoff.eventbrite.com or email efmoynihan@alz.org.
The Kick-Off Lunch will educate and inspire community members to form or join Walk Teams in the Bayou Area and offer information to interested companies and organizations in sponsorship and volunteer opportunities. Funds raised at the Bayou Walk to End Alzheimer’s will help to continue education programs, the 24/7 helpline, support groups, training, and much-needed research.
“There has never been a greater need for the citizens of Louisiana to join in the fight against Alzheimer’s and Dementia by participating in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s and experiencing our Kick-Off Lunch this month,” said Eileen Moynihan, representative of the Alzheimer’s Association, in southeast Louisiana. “Funds raised at Walk will help provide care and support services to the nearly 93,000 residents in Louisiana living with Alzheimer’s, and the 203,000 Caregivers while also contributing to advancing critically-needed research.”
ABOUT THE WALK ON OCTOBER 8:
The Walk to End Alzheimer’s will take place on October 8th, at Peltier Park in Thibodaux. In addition to the 1.5-mile, inspirational walk, participants will enjoy a special tribute to those who have experienced or are experiencing Alzheimer’s.
