FIA April Neighborhood Meeting Recap

Thank you to everyone who joined the recent Fontainebleau Improvement Association (FIA) meeting. We appreciate the strong turnout and the opportunity to connect with neighbors.

We are grateful to Father Patrick Carr and the Archdiocese of New Orleans for hosting us at the Moreau Center at the Fontainebleau Pastoral Center (formerly St. Rita School). With their support, we hope to make this our regular meeting location.
