  Working with the media!

Your group needs to be seen and heard if you're going to get members. There's all sorts of media, including the reigning king, Broadcast. We'll take the time to show you how to get that media to give you some badly needed attention [coming soon]

Is your Main Line registered correctly?

Many groups just kind of come together, and that's fine. However, just coming together as a main Line organization is merely the first step in making the group work. Have you done everything to benefit your Main Line?

Second Line Lingo?

It's Funny, we here in New Orleans have been living with Main Line organizations for as long as most can remember. Yet we haven't taken the time to pick up the language of the groups. We begin here to construct a badly needed dictionary for the main line orgs.[ Coming soon]

Are we witnessing a resurgence of the Baby Dolls?

 March 23, 2004   New Orleans, LA. ......They call themselves K-Doe's Baby dolls, and last Super Sunday, they made an appearance and re-awakened the area to a local group long thought dormant.  

The group meets every Wednesday night at 7:00 p.m. at the Mother-in-Law Lounge in old Treme'. The night we attended the meeting they took in another four members and are currently making plans to host an Easter Egg Hunt in Armstrong Park.
