Parish President Jewell highlighted three community items: recognition of senior volunteers, a recent animal-shelter microchip event, and a reminder about emergency alerts ahead of hurricane season.
Jewell said the Department of Parks and Recreation honored volunteers at the Prime Time Seniors Volunteer Lunch and that the economic value of that volunteerism was “over $500,000 to our local economy.” She provided a Parks and Recreation contact number for residents interested in the Prime Time Seniors program: (985) 783-5090.
On animal services, Jewell said the shelter’s “Check the Chip Day” placed 59 new microchips and helped 24 owners update existing chip information. She stressed microchips’ importance during hurricane season for reuniting pets with families.
Finally, Jewell urged residents to prepare for hurricane season by signing up for parish emergency alerts at scpemergencyalerts.com and by texting “SCP alerts” to 888-7777 to customize notifications.
These items were delivered as informational announcements and public-service reminders in the transcript; no formal policy actions were recorded in this segment.
