La Fete 281 – Truly A Recipe for Success!

Ursuline Academy hosted the annual fundraising gala, La Fete 281 on Nov.  7, in the Academy’s interior courtyard. La Fete 281 was themed ‘New Orleans & Ursuline – A Recipe for Success!’ Tables set in periwinkle and the sound of Shannon del Corral and the Rob Molinelli Trio set the tone for a relaxing atmosphere of mingling for Champagne Patron Party guests. Cool, crisp weather added in the overall pleasure of the glowing outdoor affair. At 8 p.m., when the Gala began, so did music by Louisiana Spice. The upbeat dancing music kept the crowd moving to a diverse selection of cover songs. Party goers wined and dined courtesy of local restaurants and drinking establishments including Acme Oyster House, Antoine’s, Café Rani, Dickie Brennan’s Steakhouse and Tony Mandina’s to name a few. With a wide variety of silent and live auctions, guests had plenty of opportunities to take home some fabulous items all for a wonderful cause.
