Mardi Gras @ Phish Tea

Phish Tea -Dusk
The Louisiana Network, a Washington, DC-based nonprofit organization comprised of natives of the state of Louisiana, is hosting a local Mardi Gras Celebration in honor of our New Orleans heritage and traditions. Boasting one the city's most authentic celebrations, the LA Network's 'Fat Tuesday' event will be held at Phish Tea Café, 1335 H Street, NE, on Tuesday, February 28, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. The event
is $15 for non-LA Network members; and proceeds will benefit the LA Network and its ongoing hurricane relief efforts.

Established in 1999 to assist Louisiana natives relocating to the Washington Metropolitan area, the LA Network has evolved into an outreach organization providing both a professional network and a social outlet to a membership of several hundred. Immediately following Hurricane Katrina, the LA Network initiated a campaign to help
displaced residents of Louisiana who relocated to Washington, DC, and surrounding jurisdictions. The LA Network extends a special invitation to New Orleans evacuees currently residing in the DC Metropolitan Area to join them on Fat Tuesday at Phish Tea Café.
