Introducing the 2010 CO- Chairlady - Mrs. Colette Charles

"When a task is once begun, never leave it till its done. Be the laborer great or small do it well, or not at all".
Some one instilled the essence of that quotation in her all of her life. As you read her resume', you will conclude that education was the utmost primary action within her household. For she began her labor as a kindergartner and she is young and i guess she will complete her circle of degrees, and perhaps become a 'Road Scholar.
i am extremely proud of our cousin Colette. It is my honor and pleasure to introduce Co-Chair - the Gentle lady Collette Charles - daughter of Percy Brooks - granddaughter of Louise Broussard Brooks, and great granddaughter - Mary Clotea (Marie Clotier).

I CAN TRULY EXPRESS - "THIS IS HER LIFE" MULTIFACETED AND IN ALL ITS SPLENDID GLORY.
