Beautification Committee

Mission Statement:  To improve our quality of life in Bissonet Plaza and to encourage neighbors to take pride in our subdivision.

The "Beautify Kawanee Project Completed"! The Bissonet Civic Association would like to thank the Jefferson Community Foundation for their $4,000.00 grant, Metairie Bank and Trust Company for their $1,000.00 grant and Friends of Jefferson the Beautiful for their $500.00 grant.

On April 14, 2010 the Bissonet Civic Association presented Councilman Louis Congemi with a $5,000.00 check in appreciation for his generous support, without which the “Beautify Kawanee Project” would not have been possible. 

Thank you Councilman Congemi!
