Like many Southwest Louisiana residents I participated in two popular Lake Charles LA October community events over the weekend. The weather was brisk and beautiful on Saturday October 20th while the Ethel Precht Hope Breast Cancer 3k took place in Lake Charles.

Hundreds walked and ran along Shell Beach Drive
I completed the 3K and showed my support in the community! While the Ethel Precht 3k was taking place, crews and volunteers began to set up on for Rouge et Blanc 2012 on Ryan Street in front of the Lake Charles historic Courthouses.
The pink banners have been up on the lightposts along the downtown median all month. You have probably been noticing even the Pro Football teams getting into the act wearing pink to support Breast Cancer Month in October.

This Lake Charles event was founded in 2004 by Ethel Precht to benefit local residents … (3 comments)
