About Us
The LOUISIANA PEACE CORPS ASSOCIATION tries to provide a little something for all RPCVs. Whether you were the Peace Corps
Volunteer that was always working hard at your site or the one taking a cab to the capital city every weekend to party, we've got something for you. Though we had to pay someone to pretend to work (left), we didn't have any problems finding LPCA members to eat entire pizzas by themselves (right). We're sure you'll fit in somewhere!!!
LPCA plans a wide variety of events throughout the year in an attempt to attract Returned Peace Corps Volunteers with different interests. In 2009, we partnered with Rebuilding Together New Orleans to help renovate a home in the Mid-City neighborhood of New Orleans. We also replotted and leveled the yard of an LPCA member who was the victim of contractor fraud, helped Samuel Green Charter School plant gardens and prepare for the 2009 school year and volunteered at Jazz Fest.
Socially, we had King Cake Party in February 2009, a group dinner at Pupuseria La Macarena Uptown, two happy hour events at Handsome Willy's and a Pot-Luck Dinner / White Elephant Holiday Party, among other events.
2010 promises to be another great year with LPCA. So, get involved.
Sign up to be on our e-distribution list and come to the first event that sounds good to you. We look forward to meeting you!
