For sixteen years Berry Queens has worked to raise funds and fun in Iberia Parish. It has been a humbling and unbelievable joy for me and for the Berry Queen Board of Directors. Over the past two years, with a lot of help from local folks and our incredible membership, we took a leap of faith and formed an LLC to allow us to continue to raise funds in our community and focus on new causes and needs in The Berry, like working with Iberia Medical Center and Dr. Henry Eikel to provide thermometers for new mothers and babies.
We also just completed our first three classroom makeovers and have more planned for our Iberia Parish educators and schools. We hope to create inviting learning spaces and help teachers create beautiful and functional places to do their very important work. The first three have been a blast and looked amazing! Our next project is scheduled for Fall '24 and will be completed at NISH, so stay tuned!
Our Princess & Pearls has been revamped to include our Princes for Homecoming and Prom, too. It is now called "Beauties & Beauxs" and our first one received a great response from local students who wanted to be outfitted for Homecoming.
We are excited to be able to work within our membership and together with other organizations to continue our mission in different and meaningful ways and to continue to raise fun and funds in our community. We thank everyone who has supported us through time, talent, and/or treasure. We are so grateful and our cup runneth over!
Luv’n Royally, Queen de Blind
