Oxbow Paddle - Giving Back to the Community
False River Paddle Club would like to extend our deepest sympathy to those that were impacted by the flood of 2016. Following the example of our local communities, False River Paddle Club invites you to paddle to provide assistance to flood victims. By joining us for our 4th Annual Oxbow Paddle on September 10, 2016, you can be part of paddling for a cause.
100% of our proceeds will go towards donations to families with no flood insurance who are in need of new mattresses and other furniture lost in the recent flood. False River Paddle Club has teamed up with local business, Olinde's Furniture, to give as many families as we can gift certificates of $100 and up towards their purchase.
Register today for a fun paddle with great friends, while supporting those in need!! As usual, we will start at The Sand Bar on False River and make several stops to eat, drink and visit on our way to our final party at The Landing Bar at Satterfields. Please see our registration page for more details.
False River Paddle Club also extends a very heartfelt thank you to all of you who have already and continue to aid our communities in their time of need. We are so proud to call South Louisiana our home!

Blanch Jewell, 2016 LMHPCO Heart of Hospice Award Winner
Blanche Jewell, Pointe Coupee Hospice Volunteer Coordinator, has been named the 2016 LMHPCO's Heart of Hospice Award Winner! On July 28, 2016 during the annual LMHPCO Conference at the Loews Hotel in New Orleans the winners were presented with the award and recognized. Jenny Settoon, LCSW for Pointe Coupee Hospice, introduced Blanche to the audience that included invited guests of Blanche- family, friends and co-workers.
The Heart of Hospice is an annual award presented by the Louisiana-Mississippi Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (LMHPCO). The recipient of this award is a hospice team member from each of the two states who has demonstrated outstanding achievements in hospice and end-of-life care. The individual's history and relationship to hospice care, accomplishments, and contributions that go above and beyond everyday job duties are considered when choosing the award winner.
Individuals who have experience in hospice understand that being a hospice care provider is more than just a job. It requires a level of dedication and commitment to excellence that only a few can master. They do their jobs often unrecognized and with only the personal satisfaction that comes from making a tremendous difference in the lives of patients and families at the most difficult time. The Heart of Hospice award is a way that fellow hospice providers can showcase an individual who has made an outstanding commitment to the care of patients with terminal illnesses. Blanche Jewell is truly the Heart of Hospice.
Blanche is the third Pointe Coupee Hospice employee to receive this prestigious award. In 2010 the award was presented to volunteer, Cindy Gaspard and her dog Wrinkles and in 2016 to the late Dr. Robert N. Helm. Dr. Helm was the agency medical director and hospice physician, as well as, a Pointe Coupee Hospice volunteer.
Congratulations to Blanche! During her acceptance speech, Blanche told the audience, "Hospice is about living". She is a true gift to everyone she interacts with.
