Curated by Aubrey Edwards
DC is welcoming New Orleans in style…and you get a preview on September 4, 2008.
Join us for a real Cajun blow-out in celebration of the Crescent City we know and love as it continues to rebound from Katrina. Civilian is hosting its first ever preview fundraiser for Way Down in New Orleans with partial proceeds going to The New Orleans Kid Camera Project, an organization created to address the psychological and emotional impacts of Hurricane Katrina on children returning home to New Orleans.
The fundraiser will be held one day prior to the public opening of Way Down in New Orleans:
Thursday, September 4, 2008
7-10pm
and will feature New Orleans inspired food, drinks, and music.
