    What is the goal of this group, and how should I get involved. I haven’t come across any mention of this meeting today.

    Thanks,

    I’m interested to know the next time you will have another meet n’ greet.

    I’m a new blogger myself, I live in Baton Rouge, and I just launched a new food company. This is the type of community I would like to be a part of.

    It’s great to see this type of thing happening in the Red Stick.
