treat.
A
B
E
Suzie
is
our
chartered
member
one
of
our
charter
members
that
still
with
us,
she
still
works
every
year,
her
and
her
daughter,
Julie
Wade
mix,
all
the
glazing
for
us,
which
last
year
was
about
I,
think
I
ordered
300
pounds
of
powdered
sugar
and
they
have
a
special
mixer
that
they
use
in
Suzy
signed
the
Charter
back
in
1953.
So
we're
going
to
have
our
60th
anniversary
of
being
chartered
soon
we
got
the
most
members
after
Katrina
when
people
wanted
to
hold
on
to
their
heritage.
So
we
had
a
large
influx
of
new
members.
C
I'm
French,
but
I
was
married
to
Steve
Adolphus
and
he's
Judith
Hobbs,
and
that's
how
I
got
into
the
club.
We
were
married
30
years
so
I
picked
up
a
few
for
livonian
habits
along
the
way.
I
learned
how
to
make
butcher
arthas.
You
know
it.
The
organizations
meant
a
lot
to
me,
especially
since
my
husband
passed
away
the
women
really.
You
know
they
were
there
for
me
and
it's
really
been
a
great
experience.
A
lot
of
fun
to
be
with
you
know,
laughs
to
cut
up.
You
saw
us
in
the
kitchen.
D
E
Past
year
we
made
210
pounds
and
we
sold
thirteen
hundred
and
ninety
three
dozen
pusher
otters,
which
is
a
lot
of
pressure
on
us.
When
you
see
how
we
prom
and
the
little
fires,
we
have
a
bunch
of
ladies
that
show
up
it's
like
an
assembly
line.
They
cook
them,
they
cool,
we
dip
them.
We
let
them
cool
again.
We
put
them
in
the
little
wrappers
and
we
box
them
and
they're
pre-sold.
We
take
orders
in
advance
and
people
start
picking
them
up
about
nine
o'clock
in
the
morning.
E
Actually,
we
started
frying
last
year
about
11
o'clock
the
day
before
we
got
here
at
9:00
the
night
before
to
set
up
for
it
and
I
left
about
a
quarter
to
three
last
year,
all
night,
it's
all
night
jobs
and
we
do
it
because
it's
the
people's
heritage,
the
people
in
biloxi,
expect
to
have
the
pressure
on
us
every
year
for
Christmas
and
that's
what
we
do
it
for
is
for
the
people
love
the
look.
So
it's.
