Rolfe McCollister Jr.
Baton
Rouge Business Report
Rolfe spoke about Baton Rouge encouraging new ideas &
entrepreneurs staying in LA. He highlighted that we need to encourage the bright
people to stay in LA, especially the young. He said that our economy took a dive 3 years ago & is
slowly climbing its way back. We
have a problem in that we don’t make changes until something is a crisis. At
this point the solutions are expensive. He
said that 8 out of 10 people in our area are born here, making it hard for
changes to occur. This is because people want things to be done just like they
have always been done. He said that our current governor’s election is good
publicity for LA & is making news all over the world.
LSU Circle K
LSU will
hold their induction ceremony on Thursday, Nov. 13 at 6:00 pm in the LSU union.

In Honor of Service
Every year, LSU holds a ceremony to honor those that have & currently serve in the military. This past Saturday, LSU honored 10 alumni who served our nation with honor & distinction by inducting them into the Hall of Honor. Lt. Col. Calvin Robbins was one of these inductees. Spotlight on…Julie Dauzat I am originally from Marksville, LA and I am the
youngest of three children. My dad is a farmer in AvoyelIes Parish
and my mom is a housewife. I graduated from Marksville High School in 1998
and moved to Baton Rouge that summer. In May of 2002, I graduated from LSU
with a degree in Marketing. A few months later, I was hired by Vista
Host, a hotel management company out of Houston. I became the Area Sales
Manager for the SpringHill Suites, Fairfield Inn, and TownePlace Suites by
Marriott. My sister and I just bought a house in Baton
Rouge. We live one street over from my brother and his wife, who is
expecting and due in February. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of
my first niece, Kate. I have really enjoyed being a member of CCK.
I was recruited by David Cresson (but don't like to admit that very often).
I am excited that some female friends have joined CCK. Being on the
Recruitment Committee, I intend to add some more females to the list :) Christmas Party When: Saturday, December 20 Golf
