MOVE, MAKE, AND MINGLE Finding Your People Starts With Doing What You Love
Project Backpack 2025 A DAY OF GIVING, SMILES, AND COMMUNITY What an incredible day! We recently hosted our annual Project Backpack event, and it was our most successful one yet. With warm weather, high spirits, and a crowd of excited families, we successfully distributed over 500 backpacks to students from across the New Orleans area. Every backpack was filled with the supplies kids need to start the school year strong, and the smiles on their faces said it all. A big thank you to everyone who attended, and especially to our staff and volunteers who made the day run smoothly. Special shoutout to team members Meg and Tina , who went above and beyond to get backpacks into the hands of even the streetcar driver! We also loved seeing how many people were asking about the T-shirts this year (yes, they were a hit). Project Backpack is more than just a giveaway. It’s about showing up for the community, building connections, and giving kids a strong start.
As life enters a new chapter, many find themselves craving meaningful activities and meaningful connections. Making new friends doesn’t always come as easily as it once did, but shared interests can offer a natural way to meet others. Engaging hobbies offer more than just something to do; they offer a way to belong. Recreational sports like golf, pickleball, or bowling bring people together through lighthearted competition and camaraderie. These games are less about winning and more about showing up, staying active, and enjoying a few laughs along the way.
Events like this are a reflection of our mission and why we do what we do. We’re incredibly proud of how it all came together — and already excited to start planning for next year!

What Our Clients Are Saying “They really helped me out. No phone call went unanswered. No questions went unanswered. It was just a great feeling knowing I could call someone and get the help I needed or have the questions I had answered. I’m glad I went with Scott Vicknair.” –Miguel P. Thank You for Your Referrals! This month, we’d like to thank Patty S., Kameron W., Janice V., David T., Paul L., Ben C., and Landis C. for believing we are the right firm to help their friends and family. Your continued support gives us the ability to reach more individuals and make a positive difference in their lives.
Community theater offers a behind-the-scenes magic all its own. You don’t have to be on stage to be part of the show. Directing, costume design, set building, and ushering are all wonderful ways to get involved and meet like-minded people. Volunteering is another powerful way to connect. Whether you’re walking shelter dogs, preparing meals, or mentoring a young person, shared service often sparks lasting friendships built on purpose and compassion. If you enjoy music and movement, dance classes offer both. Whether ballroom, swing, or line dancing, these settings make it easy to meet new people while staying energized. And group fitness classes like water aerobics, tai chi, or walking groups combine health and community in one uplifting routine. Love working with your hands? Craft clubs bring together quilters, knitters, painters, and other creatives to swap stories and skills. Even amateur or ham radio can be surprisingly social, offering a way to connect across town or the world without ever leaving home. Building new friendships may take intention, but these hobbies make it easy and delightful.
