New Orleans, Louisiana- National Caviar Day is celebrated annually on July 18th, but the Louisiana Caviar Co. offers products that are affordable enough to enjoy the delicacy any day of the year. Owner/Operators Amy Hollister Wilson, Chef Alison Vega-Knoll and Alden Lagasse have three products in the company's line of caviars: traditional Cajun Caviar, Spicy Cajun Caviar and Paddlefish. The prices are all significantly less than Russian caviars and other American competitors. "We are so proud to be working with Gulf fisherman, who are helping us bring this product to market," states Wilson.
Cajun Caviar is a unique delicacy that is processed by hand according to the traditional Russian method. "What makes Cajun Caviar so unique is that the fish feed on the seafood delicacies found in Louisiana that we know and love-crawfish, Gulf shrimp, and other seafood found in the Louisiana waters," states Chef Alison. "Those flavors are brought out in our caviars, and result in a bright clean taste that pops in your mouth." Chef Alison has several suggestions for serving Cajun Caviar, besides just on a mother-of-pearl spoon with a glass of champagne. She recommends it on scrambled or poached eggs for breakfast or on French fries or crabcakes for lunch. She also likes the ghost pepper caviar on smoked salmon for dinner.
The natural black color and delicate taste of the Choupique roe are not compromised by artificial additives, colorings or preservatives. With less than 5% salt content Cajun Caviar ranks among the finest Malossol caviars in the world.
You can enjoy Cajun Caviar on July 18th and throughout the year at these restaurants (among many others): Bourbon House, Broussard's, Bywater American Bistro, Cavan, Commander's Palace, Compère Lapin, Effervencence, Emeril's, Emeril's Delmonico, La Petit Grocery, Martin Wine Cellar, Meril, N.O.S.H., NOLA, Palace Café, Saba, Shaya, Station 6 and The Tasting Room.
CITY ANNOUNCES SECOND ANNUALBEHAVIORAL HEALTH PUBLIC FORUM
NEW ORLEANS - On Wednesday, July 18, 2018, the New Orleans Health Department, Metropolitan Human Services District and the New Orleans Behavioral Health Council will host the second annual Behavioral Health Public Forum. While the previous year's forum served to publicly re-launch the Council and engage residents, this year's forum will provide residents an opportunity to learn about the progress, successes and challenges that have been encountered in the mission to create a comprehensive and coordinated system of behavioral health care in New Orleans.
Taking into account the current substance abuse crisis, the forum will include a discussion on the epidemic surrounding substance use and the effects of opioids. The forum will also include a presentation on the local efforts of Metropolitan Human Services District (MHSD) in creating a Recovery Oriented System of Care (ROSC). Residents are encouraged to attend this event to learn about the work of the Council and to contribute to the discussion about behavioral health needs in our community.
"Each partnering organization brings invaluable expertise and commitment, creating the remarkable footprint the Behavioral Health Council has made within the City," said Fran Lawless, Interim Health Director.
"MHSD's role as co-leader and navigator for the Behavioral Health Council through the complex world of behavioral health has provided a tremendous opportunity for shared expertise with critical intersecting systems along the way," said Dr. Rochelle Head-Dunham, Executive Director of Metropolitan Human Services District.
In 2011, the Health Department began examining the City's role in addressing behavioral health issues, such as mental illness and substance use. With support and guidance from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the Health Department issued a report -- Behavioral Health in New Orleans 2012: Recommendations for Systems Change -- which recommended the establishment of an inter-agency body to shape system-wide change. This led to the formation of the Behavioral Health Council to bring together providers, advocates and consumers from throughout the behavioral health community to facilitate coordination, advocate for policy change, influence funding and communicate with the local community. The Council, chaired by the leadership of the Health Department and MHSD, is divided into specific sector work groups (education, criminal justice, housing, health and hospitals) that meet regularly to collaborate toward achieving the Council's mission.

Jo Watson Hackl - SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF MAYBE
You must join us for a special afternoon reading and booksigning with middle grade children's book author Jo Watson Hackl featuring SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF MAYBE.
A Mississippi ghost town and an art mystery combine in this gorgeously written debut
How far would you go to find something that might not even exist?
All her life, Cricket's mama has told her stories about a secret room painted by a mysterious artist. Now Mama's run off, and Cricket thinks the room might be the answer to getting her to come back. If it exists. And if she can find it.
Cricket's only clue is a coin from a grown-over ghost town in the woods. So with her daddy's old guidebook and a coat full of snacks stolen from the Cash 'n' Carry, Cricket runs away to find the room. Surviving in the woods isn't easy. While Cricket camps out in an old tree house and looks for clues, she meets the last resident of the ghost town, encounters a poetry-loving dog (who just might hold a key to part of the puzzle), and discovers that sometimes you have to get a little lost...to really find your way.
Told in the easy, laconic tone of good, Southern storytelling, Hackl's debut rolls off the tongue and into the heart easy as warm butter on a biscuit. Lyrical and endearing, this debut is a genuine adventure tale."-Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
"A tale of adventure, full of mystery."-Robert Beatty, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Serafina and the Black Cloak
"Smack Dab in the Middle of Maybe is part treasure hunt, part wilderness adventure, and all heart."-Alan Gratz, New York Times Bestselling author of Refugee
Jo Hacki was born in Biloxi, Mississippi, not far from Ocean Springs, where her favorite artist, Walter Anderson, lived and once painted a secret room. When Jo was eleven, she moved to a real-life ghost town, Electric Mills, Mississippi, and spent the rest of her childhood exploring the piney woods and encountering signs of the former inhabitants. Mr. Anderson's secret room and the ghost town were Jo's inspiration for this debut novel. Jo lives with her family in Greenville, South Carolina, where she raises fruits, vegetables, and many, many weeds.

Join us for happy hour at 5:30 p.m. this Wednesday to get a behind-the-scenes look at the renovation while sipping on cold drinks provided by Royal Brewery and Twelve Mile Limit.

CONVENTION OPENING CEREMONIES
July 18, 2018, at 8:00 PM
Sinfonia's National Convention is the prime event of our triennium. In addition to hosting the Fraternity's legislative National Assembly, our Convention is a celebration of Brotherhood in Music, an opportunity for education and personal development, a time to recognize Sinfonians who have achieved prominence, and a marketplace of ideas, new programs and new products.
The Convention is structured using an "open format," which was introduced in 2015. We offer many sessions and programs, both in and out of the main Convention hotel. You are welcome to attend as few, or as many, of the scheduled sessions and events as you choose. To get the maximum benefit for your collegiate chapter, we recommend that you utilize a "divide and conquer" approach-send each member to different sessions, so that you can bring back a wide variety of experiences, ideas and improvements for your Brothers at home.
The "anchors" of the Convention program are its General Sessions, which are intended to provide entertainment, inspiration and National Fraternity information of use to all attendees. Whatever you plan to do, you should make plans to attend each General Session.
We have also built in several Program Blocks to contain a veritable buffet of entertainment, program, musical and educational or discussion sessions. We have planned something for everyone, and this is where you'll find it. You will have an opportunity to register for individual sessions and activities once the options and presenters have been finalized.
Alumni Brothers will find programming of interest beyond our chapter-centric offerings. There will be ample opportunities for personal and professional development, and information on programs directed toward alumni members. There will be sessions on music advocacy, master classes, and music education. We are introducing special sessions at the Convention for Faculty Advisors, and also for Province Alumni Coordinators.
Above all else, the Convention is a "musical feast." The Fifty-Sixth National Convention may be the most musical gathering we have ever held. In addition to our three premier concert events - The Men of Song Chorus, 1898 Jazz Orchestra, and Sinfonia Winds concerts on Thursday, Friday and Saturday - we are sponsoring musical events for citizens of New Orleans throughout the city, in celebration of the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Crescent City.
Former National President and National Historian John Mongiovi is anchoring a brand new, expanded program on Fraternity Education, based heavily on the writings and influences of significant Brothers. John will also provide a first look at his new Documentary Biography of our Founder, Ossian Everett Mills, a work that has involved over twenty years of research and writing.
You might also choose to participate in a service project, or to participate in a Mills Music Mission in the city. We truly want to Raise the Song in New Orleans while we are in town. We have partnered with a local tour company as well, so that you can take advantage of some local tours and events. You can indicate your interest in these options on the Registration form.
New Orleans is famous for Mardi Gras and Bourbon Street, but the city offers far more. The food in New Orleans is a unique blend of old and new, and the city offers over 1200 restaurants for your dining pleasure. New Orleans is a city rich in history, and especially rich in musical heritage. The three uniquely "American" musical traditions - Barbershop, Jazz and the Blues - all have significant roots in New Orleans.
New Orleans also offers a number of museums and exhibits. The newly-expanded World War II Museum is world-class and state-of-the-art, not to be missed. New Orleans is the home of the Higgins Boat, which was used to land vehicles and personnel on the beaches of France, Italy, and the Pacific Islands. Andrew Jackson Higgins, a citizen of New Orleans, adapted the shallow-water work boats he had developed to support oil and gas exploration for military use. Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower credited Higgins with "winning World War II." A portrait of Eisenhower and Higgins hangs in the Gallery of the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel.
The French Market and Jackson Square form the active hub of the French Quarter, and offer a first-hand experience of New Orleans life. The Quarter offers a number of art and antique shops, fine restaurants, and gift and specialty shops for your discovery. The Garden District is a short ride from the hotel on the street car line, and features many of the newer and trendier restaurants.
We hope that you will plan ahead, and get the fullest possible experience from our 56th National Convention, Brothers. So let it be for Sinfonia!

St. Louis Cathedral - Cathedral-Basilica of St. Louis King of France 615 Pere Antoine Alley, New Orleans, Louisiana 70116
The Men of Song Chorus is the Fraternity's premier men's vocal ensemble, featuring talented singers from all over the Fraternity. Choral singing has long been a feature of Sinfonia Conventions, but the notion of a select chorus first started to take hold in 2007. While the 'Men of Song' title was used for selected events since Leadership Institute in 2007, the name was formalized at the 2009 National Convention in Orlando as a result of a naming contest for the Convention ensembles. The 2015 Men of Song and Sinfonia Strings concert at the Cathedral of St. Louis in New Orleans was one of the most sublime and polished performances in the history of the Fraternity, and the concert filled the Cathedral almost to its capacity of 2000 people.

Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia boasts one of the most impressive histories of both activity and activism in the American Jazz tradition of any single organization in existence. With members whose names dot the record books of Who's Who in Jazz history, Sinfonia is proud to share its reach and mission to help advance the cause of all music in America - Jazz included.
Formed for the 2009 National Convention in Orlando, Florida, the 1898 Jazz Orchestra is Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia's premier big band. The ensemble has featured some of the Fraternity's top jazz musicians during its performances at National Conventions. We are excited to continue this tradition into the new era of the 1898 Jazz Orchestra for the 56th National Convention in New Orleans, LA.
The Sinfonia Winds premiered in a special concert at the Fifty-second National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, conducted by Man of Music, Signature Sinfonian and National Honorary member Colonel John R. Bourgeois, who was the 25th Director of "The President's Own" United States Marine Band. His acclaimed career spanned nine presidential administrations, from Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower to Bill Clinton. The name of the ensemble was made permanent by a vote of the Convention in 2009.

If caterpillars are creeping and termites are swarming, it must be time for Audubon Nature Institute's 2018 season of "Wild Nights'' and "Insect Adventures.''
Audubon Butterfly Garden and Insectarium is once again offering opportunities for up-close looks - during the day and after dark - at the amazing diversity of arthropods living among us.
"Ever wonder which marvelous moths and beautiful beetles are out and about at night,'' asks Zack Lemann, Audubon Butterfly Garden and Insectarium's Animal and Visitor Programs Manager. "And what about the darting dragonflies and active ants that fly and crawl about during hot summer days? Then don't miss this chance to learn about all the fascinating bugs that inhabit south Louisiana.''
The insect safaris take place in Audubon Wilderness Park located at Freeport-McMoRan Audubon Species Survival Center in Lower Coast Algiers and Audubon Louisiana Nature Center in eastern New Orleans adjacent to Joe Brown Park.
Registration for "Insect Adventures'' includes an aerial net, while "Wild Nights'' guests receive a night headlamp and batteries. All participants receive a small insect collection kit and an exclusive "Wild Nights Insect Adventures'' collectible water bottle.
"Insect Adventures'' are held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., while "Wild Nights'' take place from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Meals are not provided.
The cost is $60 for Audubon members and $70 for non-members (plus sales taxes). Guests must be six years of age or older. The adult-to-child ratio is three children per adult.
New Orleans couldn't pass Louis Armstrong's birthday without a grand affair. Held at the New Orleans Jazz Museum at the Mint, Satchmo Summerfest celebrates Pops' birthday with music, food, and a second-line parade appropriately dubbed the "Satchmo Strut." The fest also includes seminars, discussions, and speakers focused on Louis Armstrong and his contributions to New Orleans - and the world.
Don't skip your laundry this week, y'all. Every year, a mass of white clothing takes over Julia Street as guests explore art galleries in the Warehouse District. What started as a way to revive the downtown's art district, has grown into one of the summer's most anticipated events. Channeling days gone by in New Orleans where residents donned white to reflect the summer sun, guests roam in an out of art galleries with handheld fans in tow on this evening celebration.
Don't put those linens in the wash just yet because Dirty Linen Night rolls through the French Quarter the following weekend! Join in as folks stroll down Royal Street to see the art galleries. Shopkeepers give away free dirty martinis and dirty rice too!

Jazz Pilates with Stephanie Jordan
New Orleans Jazz Museum at the Old U.S. Mint
Every 1st & 3rd Tuesday @ 4:00 PM - Inside The Jazz Collection Exhibit Room
Renowned jazz vocalist Stephanie Jordan created Jazz Pilates which is set to the recorded music of major jazz composers like John Coltrane, Kidd Jordan, and Kent Jordan. Stephanie Jordan developed her Jazz Pilates technique after receiving her certification from Wise Body Pilates. Jazz Pilates integrates traditional Pilates and dance movements with jazz to enhance the mind-body-spirit connection. It is a muscle lengthening and strengthening program designed to improve balance and transform the body so that it functions at optimal capacity.
Jordan believes that the whole fitness movement is too focused on "Buy a membership, join a spa, purchase this equipment and you'll be beautiful." Jazz Pilates participants are able to use what they were born with-their bodies. The New Orleans Jazz Museum at the Old US Mint provides the perfect venue to allow French Market District/ New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park visitors to create movements that is beneficial to both physical and mental health-in a mere 45 - minutes to an hour. Participants are introduced to the works of major jazz composers and performers while developing a lifelong physical fitness and emotional wellness through arts and fitness integration.
With all of the distractions in the world, the human body naturally retains the basic urge to create movement, to physically "get a lot of stuff out." Jazz Pilates is designed to improve balance and transform the body so patrons may function at optimal capacity while working, playing, or just living life to the fullest.
Please bring your own fitness mat and arrive at least 10 minutes before class begins.
