The Acadiana Top 50 Business Luncheon Thursday, August 26, 2010 Cajundome Convention Center 11:45 a.m.
Keynote Speaker Charlie Cook, Political Analyst and Publisher of The Cook Report
Once again Acadiana Business brings a meaningful new event for the area’s business elite: a luncheon honoring Acadiana’s Top 50 private and publicly-held companies.
The list and accompanying analysis will be published in a special cover feature on Wednesday, July 28, 2010. Top management from each of the Top 50 private businesses and the locally-based, publicly-held companies will be invited as guests to a luncheon held in their honor. Tickets will be available for sale to others who want to attend in honor of their colleagues in business.
Keynote speaker will be Charlie Cook, respected political analyst, publisher of The Cook Report and native son of Louisiana (from Shreveport and a former aide to Sen. J. Bennett Johnston). Cook’s wit and wisdom will be well-timed to offer insight into the fall mid-term elections.
Tickets: $50 per person or $450 for a table of 8. To order tickets contact Robin Hebert:

Is it a crime for citizens to photograph, video, or take notes of a police officer in the line of duty, or a right protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution? Locally, such activity, as witnessed recently, will at the very least result in a night spent behind bars.
At Thursday's State of the Economy luncheon, LEDA President and CEO Gregg Gothreaux said PXP has already quietly hired 180 people for its Broussard expansion.
There will soon be a whole lot of shakin’ going on at Benny’s Sportshack Supplement Depot, a new concept by Opelousas native Benny Nele. Located at 2002 Johnston St., the supplement shop, smoothie bar and café, featuring hot off the press paninis and wraps, plans to open in late May.
This year’s Cool Town issue is all about people who are not native to South Louisiana but made a conscious decision to be here, to be among us, to participate in our culture and contribute to it.
A shelved ordinance transferring $200,000 from a northside drainage project to a south Lafayette development may not break any laws, but it stinks to high heaven.
An effort to restore a shuttered dancehall and document other vacant or razed honky-tonks could serve as a model for saving an endangered species of entertainment.
Lafayette’s gene pool has been host to a long line of eccentric characters who have blurred the lines between crazy, genius, disturbed and curiously entertaining.
