“Medical experts say getting children ages 5 years and older vaccinated can help protect them from serious short- and long-term complications, and it can protect families and communities, including friends and family who are not eligible for the shot or those who are vulnerable to the virus,” said NOLA-PS Superintendent Dr. Henderson Lewis, Jr. “All reasons why we want to provide easy access to the vaccine for our students and their families through our NOLA-PS Vaccination Events. We urge everyone to get vaccinated.”
“Vaccinated school children do not have to quarantine when they come in close contact with someone at school who has COVID-19,” said NOLA-PS Chief Operations Officer Tiffany Delcour. “If your child is vaccinated, they won’t have to miss important classroom time, and their families won’t have to take off work to watch them at home.”
Below is a list of this month’s NOLA-PS Vaccination Events -- some of which will make vaccines available to students of all ages. The available vaccines will be administered on a first-come, first-served basis and families are encouraged to register via the registration links on our website: nolapublicschools.com/vaccinations

SUMMER HOURS: Audubon Golf Clubhouse Food Waste Collection, every Monday 4:30-6:00pm
The Golf Club at Audubon Park
6500 Magazine St
New Orleans, LA 70118
|
Duration: 1 hr 30 min
Public
Monday, we will collect your frozen food scraps on the veranda of the Audubon Clubhouse, the Golf Club at Audubon Park during our new summer hours from 4:30 - 6:00PM.
This free residential food waste collection will be every Monday from 4:30 - 6:00PM.
Please bring your FROZEN food scraps (no meat, no bones, no dairy) to the bins on the veranda between 4:30-6:00pm.
Please observe program hours.
Please do NOT drop off early or late.
Please do not leave scraps if you do not see bins.
Please bring your FROZEN fruit and vegetable scraps, eggshells, nut shells, tea bags, coffee grounds, plain pasta or bread.
Bring your food waste in a paper or compostable bag or bring your scraps in a reusable container.
We will have bins for you to empty your frozen scraps into. If you do not see bins, please do NOT just leave your scraps.
Seriously. They will cancel the program if you do.
NO MEAT, NO DAIRY, NO OILY FOODS, NO BONES.
Why FROZEN? Scraps must be frozen, to avoid potential smells, roaches and rodents. Our volunteers thank you!
Also, freezing your scraps means no smell, fruit flies, roaches or rodents for you at home PLUS freezing breaks down the cell membrane, speeding up the decomposition process.
Not everyone is ready to build and maintain a compost bin in their backyard or have a worm bin in their home - that's fine. You can still help reduce the amount of food waste going into landfills by participating in this free, easy & convenient food waste collection program!
DO NOT drop off any food waste outside the scheduled times.

NATIONAL CRANBERRY RELISH DAY
Another seasonal holiday staple graces the table each year and National Cranberry Relish Day makes sure you’re prepared. On November 22nd make sure you’re stocked and ready. Get tasting the many recipes out there and pick your favorite one!
Believed to have originated in the New England States during the early 1900s, cranberry relish is a traditional part of many families’ Thanksgiving dinner.
Each Thanksgiving, Susan Stamberg provides National Public Radio listeners with her mother-in-law’s recipe for cranberry relish sauce. The American radio journalist, an American radio journalist, and Special Correspondent for NPR and guest host for Weekend Edition Saturday has been doing this since 1971. What’s unusual about the special recipe, known as Mama Stamberg’s Cranberry Relish, is that horseradish is one of its principal ingredients. Craig Claiborne originally published the recipe in his food column in 1959.
Numerous cranberry relish recipes grace cookbooks and blogs across the internet. The bright and sweet flavors are enhanced by ingredients like apples, oranges, and pineapple. You can make them spicy or nutty, too. Or, you might offer more than one style and use the leftovers for great sandwiches. But there’s more than one way to slice this cranberry dish.
- Use it as a marinade for pork, chicken, or beef.
- Add it to barbeque sauce and pour it over meatballs.
- Mix it into a batch of muffins for breakfast.
- Stir it into cream cheese and add it to your morning bagel.

KING CAKE HUB 2022 LOCATIONS
Mid-City’s Zony Mash (3940 Thalia St) will host the main King Cake Hub location while The Gift Shop at Historic New Orleans Collection will host a pop-up second location
Jennifer Samuels, owner of the King Cake Hub, announced the retail King Cake shop will have two new locations for the 2022 Carnival season. The main King Cake Hub will share space with Zony Mash Beer Project. King Cake Hub will be located in the Broad facing portion of the building at 1464 S. Broad Street in New Orleans. Zony Mash is a brewery with a large creative selection of beers created in house. They also have tasting room with 21 brews on tap and being located in the historic Gem Theater they are also a destination for live entertainment. Zony Mash and King Cake Hub will be collaborating to release a special edition King Cake Stout beer which should be ready in time for King Cake Hub’s Annual Carnival Kickoff Party.
This will be King Cake Hub’s fourth year selling a wide assortment of the best king cakes you have ever and never tasted and will include new king cake offerings from several of our partner bakeries. Brennan’s is back this year with their Traditional and Pink Parade king cakes as well as a yet to be revealed “Special Release” filled king cake which all Coterie members will receive on January 6th. In addition to Brennan’s, NOCCA’s students are back in the kitchen working with Steve Himelfarb and the team from now shuttered Cake Cafe offering their hugely popular Goat Cheese Apple and new this year will be a Gluten and Dairy Free cake. Other returning partners are Caludas’s, Cannata’s, Caywood and Randazzo Bakery, Joe Gambino’s Bakery, Hi-Do Bakery, Bywater Bakery, Breads on Oak, Gracious, Bittersweet, Sugar Love and Big Boys Gooey Cakes will be back for season four!
The 2022 King Cake Coterie is on sale now with exciting new offerings and a discount for early shoppers. The Coterie is a King Cake of the Week Club featuring a different king cake each week. Brennan’s is launching Season 4 and then Cannata’s will be debuting a new Salted Caramel King Cake which is sure to be a hit. NOCCA, Bywater, Gracious, Gambino’s and Caluda’s will also be included. The Coterie makes a great holiday gift. In addition to the early bird discount the first 30 Subscribers will receive one of our amazing t-shirts by Studio Mundi!
This will be a bittersweet year as we mourn the loss of Will Samuels who had the crazy genius idea to bring all your favorite king cakes to one shop. Will’s wife and daughter will proudly and joyously continue the legacy which has delighted and overwhelmed king cake lovers for three years.
King Cake Hub will be open daily from 8:30am until 6:00pm beginning January 6 through Lundi Gras. Delivery will be available through Door Dash

Rebirth Brass Band at
Zony Mash Beer Project
3940 Thalia St.
New Orleans, LA 70125
|
Duration: 2 hr
Public
Whether seen on HBO’s Treme or at their legendary Tuesday night gig at The Maple Leaf, Grammy-winning Rebirth Brass Band is a true New Orleans institution. Formed in 1983 by the Frazier brothers, the band has evolved from playing the streets of the French Quarter to playing festivals and stages all over the world. While committed to upholding the tradition of brass bands, they’ve also extended themselves into the realms of funk and hip-hop to create their signature sound. “Rebirth can be precise whenever it wants to,” says The New York Times, “but it’s more like a party than a machine. It’s a working model of the New Orleans musical ethos: as long as everybody knows what they’re doing, anyone can cut loose.” In the wake of the sometimes- stringent competition amongst New Orleans brass bands, Rebirth is the undisputed leader of the pack, and they show no signs of slowing down.

LIVE MUSIC FROM THE BRASS-A-HOLICS at the Jazz Playhouse
Since 2010, the Brass-A-Holics have been taking their unique sound around the world. Steeped in the deep musical culture of New Orleans, the band brings a heavy dose of go-go funk to the New Orleans brass sound. In a blending of musical cultures stemming from cities separated by more than a thousand miles, a Brass-a-Holics live show takes the New Orleans brass band culture and infuses it with the electricity of Washington D.C.'s go-go. The resulting sound is both captivating and unique.
*Preferred Seating for small parties only. Parties of 8 or more people must inquire via email to cwhitney@sonesta.com to reserve.*
**Special Event valet rate - $5/vehicle. Please provide ticket to event staff for validation. Garage entryways located on both the Bienville and Conti sides of the hotel.

2021 Holidays
New Orleans Style
NOLA Gathers for The Holidays Once Again!
|
It's time to return to our favorite holiday traditions, together! Are you ready? FQFI is delighted to announce details regarding the 37th annual Holidays New Orleans Style (HNOS). We could not wait to begin collaborating with our great partners New Orleans & Company this year to curate and showcase all that our city has to offer this season.
Now it's your turn to start curating your very own HNOS experience with your friends and family. Throughout the next seven weeks, Holidays New Orleans Style will offer Réveillon feasts at over 25 of the city’s finest restaurants, nearly 40 special holiday events including the return of live, free concerts produced by FQFI, Papa Noël discounts providing affordable stays in the city’s finest hotels, and a shopping guide to navigate gift-givers through the many options of local shops. The festivities began November 10 with the decoration of Jackson Square and continue through Twelfth Night, January 6, 2022, when the Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc parades through the French Quarter.
Dozens of activities are planned, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy dining, shopping, and culture throughout the season for all ages. Our youngest holiday-goers can enjoy events such as Santa’s Pajama Party, and Holiday Movies on the Mississippi. Welcomed newcomers like WinterJAM include a 12-room exhibition that promises a fun photo experience for all ages with over-the-top holiday decor while cherished traditional special events, like the Algiers Bonfire and Celebration in the Oaks, return to light up the nights. History-lovers will appreciate the new virtual and in-person art and garden tours that turn homes into a winter wonderland. The sounds of the season will fill St. Louis Cathedral and St.Anna’s Episcopal Church during FQFI’s concert series with nine free performances including The Zion Harmonizers, Susan Cowsill, Vivaz and more. As the weeks continue, the excitement builds with opportunities for Hotel Hopping for the Holidays and Big Night New Orleans on New Year’s Eve.
For more than 25 years, FQFI has decorated Jackson Square to brighten the spirits of locals and visitors. This year the Square re-opens to the public and will be illuminated and dressed for the holidays thanks to sponsorship support from French Market Corporation. FQFI welcomes all to safely enjoy the festive atmosphere of Jackson Square and the entire French Quarter neighborhood throughout December.

Prepare your tastebuds with a full list of menus.
Réveillon on the Rocks

Local bartenders also capture the spirit of Réveillon, one-sip-at-a-time, with festive cocktails. Beginning December 1st and continuing until the last toast on New Year’s Eve, and at some spots lasting through Twelfth Night (January 6th), bars and restaurants will say “Cheers to the Holiday Season!” Enjoy special crafted cocktails like the sweet and spicy Diable de Noël from Bar Marilou, the holiday spiced, Winter Old Fashion from The Sazerac Restaurant, an Aged Creole Eggnogg from the Rib room and many more.

Pontchartrain Astronomy Society and the JPL
Host an Evening of Gazing at the Stars
|
METAIRIE, LA – A night of gazing at the stars will occur at approximately 6 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 8, at the Wagner Library, 6646 Riverside Drive, Metairie. The event will occur outside in a clear area on the east side of the library – away from lights.
This event is free of charge and open to the public. There is plenty of parking available for patrons.
The Pontchartrain Astronomy Society is sponsoring the event. Members will bring telescopes to view the nighttime sky. About six telescopes will be present for viewers, though others may bring their own telescopes.
Targets (depending on sight lines) - Jupiter will be at 38 degrees above the horizon towards the south-southwest with Saturn a little lower at 25 degrees and the moon lower still at 20 degrees. There will be a space station pass-over from the southwest towards the southeast at 6:40 p.m. and it will travel sight-wise between Jupiter and the moon so it should be easy to spot.
In case of bad weather, this event will be rescheduled at another time.
The Pontchartrain Astronomy Society is a non-profit astronomy club with a membership of nearly 130 individuals and families, mainly from the Southeast Louisiana and Southern Mississippi areas. PAS members come from many walks of life and have diverse interests in amateur astronomy. PAS members promote an understanding and appreciation of astronomy in the community, sharing time and telescopes to engage the public with unique astronomy experiences.
For more information regarding this presentation, contact Chris Smith, Manager of Adult Programming for the library, at (504) 889-8143
