Celebrate Heart Month with CIS and Terrebonne General by joining us for a women's cardiac wellness social on March 5th.

Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of women each year. Yet many women do not understand their risk or realize how cardiovascular disease looks and feels different in women.

Heels for Hearts: A Women’s Cardiac Wellness Social, is a FREE event and will feature:

• Cardiovascular Health Presentation & Patient Testimonial
• Free Thermal Imaging Screenings - an advanced photographic technology used to detect venous insufficiency in the legs; make sure to wear clothing that allows for access to your legs like dresses, skirts, or loose fitting pants
• Open Q&A
• Heart-Healthy Expo.

Dr. Pradeep Nair, interventional cardiologist and vascular specialist at CIS, will break down the cardiovascular system - your heart and all the blood vessels that carry blood throughout your body, including your legs.

Special guest Anissa McKay will share her powerful limb-saving journey and the warning signs she urges others not to ignore!

Registration is required. Please reserve your spot today here or by calling (985) 873-5688.

Brushes, Bids and Booze brings together  bold artwork, a lively auction, and craft cocktails 🍸 to fuel the Bayou’s creative heartbeat. Every ticket and bid helps the Bayou Regional Arts Council support local artists, grants, and community arts programs.

Brushes, Bids & Booze is more than an auction—it’s a celebration of creativity, community, and connection.

Each year, local community leaders come together as amateur artists to transform blank canvases into live works of art, while guests enjoy an energetic evening of bidding, cocktails, and shared purpose. What makes this night special isn’t just the art on the walls—it’s what that art makes possible.

Proceeds from Brushes, Bids & Booze help expand access to the arts by supporting creative programming for children, youth, and adults, including classes for special needs adults and initiatives that make art more accessible to everyone in our community.

Whether you’re bidding on a one-of-a-kind piece, supporting a favorite artist, or cheering from the sidelines, your participation helps ensure that creativity remains vibrant, inclusive, and available to all.

Thank you for being part of a night where art makes an impact.
