Luisianians of the East Coast

Projects

Major Activities/Projects – past and present

1. Our very first project was the creation of the Luisianians of the East Coast Website

                (http://www.pametny.org/Luisianians.htm) 
and group email (Luisianians_East_Coast@yahoogroups.com). Almost all of our announcements of past and future 
events are done thru this group email communication. Our website has a CHAT ROOM intended for future meetings 
or USTINGAN on the Web. 
 
2. Scholarship - In the past, we awarded scholarship to some needy but deserving youths from Luisiana to acquire a high school 
education. Starting this year(2004), our association will support a college scholar who will enroll at SLPC (Lucban, Quezon). 
Class 67 Foundation will administer our project. An announcement will be made and applications will be accepted until 
March. Here are the criteria for the selection:
 
   A. Interested applicants are advised to take the SLPC entrance exams.
   B. All applicants who pass the exam are then subjected to an evaluation process for final selection. 
 
 
Criteria used for final selection are as follows:
   a. Financial condition of applicants’ family; 
   b. Performance/rating in the SLPC entrance exams; and
   c. High School average grade (4th year).
 
Update: As of Aug. 2007, our scholarship recepient, Jose Marie Iporac is enrolled as a fourth year Nursing student at SLPC
3. In partnership with Ridgewood Salvation Army, we started our "Gift Giving" to the sick children in the hospital, to the 
disabled and elderly patients in Nursing Homes last December 2004. This has been our ongoing project around Christmas time.

 5. Luisiana Bantay Bata Project.- Luisianians of the East Coast started this project. Purine Santos and Vangie Robles seek the help of the different associations 
based in New York City. Arjohn, who has a congenital heart problem was placed on the waiting list of the Gift of Life. After one year of waiting, the association decided 
to involve the Luisianians International.Association which was formed in Canada Reunion on July 2005. Click here for more info
