The ladies of the Krewe de les Femmes Mystique threw one heck of a party this past Friday, January 9th at Diamond Jacks Casino in Bossier City to open up the 2015 Mardi Gras bal season!The all women's krewe based in Shreveport/Bossier lived up to their reputation with an event that highlighted not only their royalty, but their philanthropy and FUN!

The ladies were resplendent with amazing decor and costuming and in the midst of all the glitz and glamour, they presented a check to Dress for Success for $2,000! But Dress for Success isn't the only good work les Femmes does in our community. Last year, they contributed over $10,000 in financial support, supplies, and in-kind services to local non-profits, including the Caddo and Bossier Councils on Aging, the NWLA Food Bank, Airmen's Attic and Toys for Tots. All hail the ladies of les Femmes!

If you're interested in becoming a part of this dynamic female driven krewe, they meet once a month on the second Tuesday at Ralph and Kacoo's in Bossier City. Check out their website for more information.
