Description
Here is a recording of the Biloxi Chamber of Commerce Breakfast with teh Mayor gathering, hosted by Merit Health of Biloxi, on Tuesday, March 22, 2022.
A
A
No
and
and
kent
and
the
energy-
I
think
that
you
know
we've
been
talking
about
you
know
all
along
seven
years
ago,
when
we
began
this
journey,
you
know
work
live
and
play
now.
You
can
get
medical
care
down
here
too.
So
anyway,
I
get
the
whole
nine
yards
here
in
biloxi
and
we're
thankful
to
you
know
to
to
everyone
who
has
put
this
together.
Of
course,
my
kiesler
cousins
over
here
you
know
I've
been
thinking
about
a
lot
of
things,
especially
ukraine.
Right
we've
got
people
from
our
croatian
heritage,
emails
and
things.
A
You
know
they're
just
300
miles
away
from
all
that
stuff,
but
I'm
going
to
drift
a
little
bit
so
bear
with
me,
but
anyway,
we're
always
thankful
for
for
our
kiesler
and
the
relationship
we
had,
but
I'm
going
to
tell
a
little
story
about
mardi
gras
day.
I
think
winter
carolina
and
you
know
the
end
of
war
and
all
that
stuff
anyway,
almost
like
we
had
it
planned
or
you
had
a
plan
at
the
end
of
the
parade.
There
was
two
b-52s
fly
right
over
there.
A
Wasn't
it
so
you
know
we're
thankful
that
our
military
is
here
and
that
we
don't
have
them
at
least
not
yet
the
problems
that
the
rest
of
the
world
has
and
then-
but
I
I
I
say,
a
prayer
every
day
for
what
we
have
here
and
the
people
and
it
it's
down
to
the
people
and
so
we're
we're
real
real
happy
that
we
can
have
such
a
good
good
story,
because
I'm
going
to
tell
all
the
happy
things
today,
it's
almost
like
a
little
mini
state
of
the
city,
but
it
is
it's
good.
A
You
know,
I
think
what
they
say.
The
lord
worked
for
six
days
and
were
arrested
on
the
seventh
day
or
something
like
that.
Well,
this
is
the
seventh
year
and
there's
no
time
to
rest.
I
can
tell
you
that
right
now,
but
I'm
just
gonna,
you
know
kind
of
go
over
things.
We
talked
a
little
bit
about.
A
You
know,
howard
avenue,
that
was
a
two
million
dollar
project.
Now
look!
What's
here,
we've
got.
You
know,
people
things
coming
out.
The
ground,
how
about
that
ground,
zero
right
over
there,
so
that
was
way
cool.
Then
we
got
apartments
going
up
everywhere
and
every
day
some
people
come
to
our
office.
Can
we
do
this?
Can
we
do
that?
Of
course
you
can
do
that
we're
here
to
make
these
things
happen.
A
I
won't
go
into
a
lot
of
detail,
but
there
are
some
exciting
things
jerry
am
I
not
right
where's,
jerry
creel,
so
without
really
you
know
violating
any
ndas
or
anything
like
that.
I
know
there's
some
very
cool
things
on
them
on
the
table
we've
had
you
know
this
is
our
30th
year.
I
think
in
august
this
is
the
30th
year
of
gaming.
A
Okay,
30th
years,
I
can't
tell
you
how
many
billions
of
dollars,
but
I
know
how
much
what
happened
last
year
in
the
30th
year
after
you
know
two
years
of
just
craziness,
it
was
the
best
year
ever
and
just
generated
a
lot
of
money,
and
we
we're
looking
forward.
You
know
to
even
greater
so
we're
thankful
that
we're
able
to
have
these
good
stories.
You
know
the
first
thing
we
talked
about
in
15
was
the
new
kiesler
main
gate
right?
A
This
is
sub-surface
wiring
and
we
were
raising
health
with
the
power
company
about
you
know
how
come
it
takes.
4.2
million
dollars
to
you
know,
remove
all
those
cables
and
put
them
underground,
but
you
need
it.
That's
25,
000
votes,
and
it's
about
you
know.
I
can't
tell
you
how
many
miles,
but
it's
it's
pretty.
It
feels
pretty
heavy
duty,
so
that's
just
weeks
away:
okay,
hopefully
we're
shooting
for
mid-may
over
there.
A
We
just
hit
midnight
we'll
shoot,
that's
our
story,
sticking
to
it
right,
and
then
you
know,
of
course
the
boardwalks
here
we're
just
about
we're
about
two
weeks
away
from
the
bayview
boardwalk
and
that's
that's
coming
and
we
do
a
little
final
touches
and,
of
course,
the
the
pilot
program
on
the
beach
with
the
knee
wall.
The
18
inch
knee
wall
keep
the
sand.
A
You
know
the
sand
was
blowing
pretty
good
yesterday,
right
and
in
places
where
it's
already
done,
it's
it's,
the
story
is,
being
you
know,
told
and
well
our
next
step
there,
mike,
I
think,
is
with
about
a
million
dollars
worth
of
replenishment
of
that
saying
after
we
graduate
you
what
happened.
However,
you're
saying
I
said
so,
you
know
again
with
those
projects
coming
out
the
ground
and
the
newest,
the
new
possibilities.
A
You
know
we've
talked
and
talked
and
about
the
broad
water-
and
you
know
the
you
music,
broadwater
and
tivoli,
and
all
the
other
activities
related
to
their
new
restaurants
and
the
new
living
components.
You
know
the
to
live,
work
and
play
downtown.
It's
coming
out
the
ground,
but
you
know
it's
there's
things
on
there
on
the
drawing
board.
Of
course
everybody
loved
that
tow
bridge
concept
right.
A
Well,
we
had
we
backed
off
a
little
bit
on
that.
You
know
it
was
an
idea
that
got
our
attention.
You
know
this
high-rise.
Without
a
you
know,
a
opening
of
a
bridge
was
a
good
idea,
the
one
that
was
done
right
after
the
storm
was
within
a
design
build
without
you
know,
without
the
opening
of
the
of
the
bridge,
that
was
300
million
dollars
in
a
design
build
mode,
300
million
dollars.
A
When
we
had
started
talking
about
in
2015
a
card,
we
call
it
the
biloxi
beach
car
they're,
coming
from
highway,
67
directing
all
through
we'll
mark
it
through
the
world
market,
exited
I-10
across
the
market,
syrian
two
new
bridges
that
whole
corridor
and
two
new
bridges,
as
well
as
the
extension
of
pops
ferry
from
you,
know,
past
road
across
to
the
just
the
west
of
the
coliseum.
A
Back
then,
255
million
followers
include
two
new
bridges:
two
high
rep.
Now
just
that
one
bridge,
180
million
dollars.
You
talk
about.
Take
your
breath
away
right,
but
then,
then
you
talk
about.
If
to
do
it,
the
normal
way
probably
take
a
15-year
project,
it'll,
probably
take
15
years,
but
from
two
or
three
years.
We've
got
some
engineers
in
there
two
or
three
years
in
design
and
a
couple
another
two
years
in
environmental,
stuff
and
stuff
like
that.
But
the
opportunity
to
look
at
this
toll.
A
They
said
we
can
deliver
this
bridge
in
four
years,
but
of
course
you'll
be
paying
for
it
for
99
years.
So
but
there's
still
some
interesting
concepts
of
what
was
brought
to
the
table
and
just
you
know
the
support
to
pay
a
toll,
even
though
old
people
like
me,
remember
when
you
had
to
pay
25
cents
to
get
across
the
bay
st
lewis
bridge,
okay
and
it
went
away,
but
the
totals
are
nothing
new
and
also
pascagoula,
there's
nothing
new
for
for
us
and
even
the
governor.
A
We
were
first
talking
about
it
two
or
three
years
ago
their
study,
their
toll
study,
which
was
done
as
part
of
this
exploration.
They
were
going
to
do
a
toll
road
between
the
jackson,
airport
and
downtown,
and
the
numbers
just
didn't
support
it.
You
know
based
on
on
the
loads
so
forth,
and
I
think
that's
pretty
much
the
case
that
we
had
here,
but
we're
going
to
back
off
on
that,
but
then
go
to
a
more
rehab
thing
where
you
know
the
the
will
not
get
stuck
open
or
closed.
A
A
You
know
we
could
fix
that
thing
from
getting
stuck,
because
I
could
weld
this
shut
bill
right
he's
here
if
he
could
weld
it
shut,
but
everybody
on
the
seaway
who
needs
to
get
through
with
a
boat
or
have
a
problem,
we're
you
know,
collaborating
with
both
the
mdot
and
the
federal
folks,
as
well
as
the
board
of
supervisors,
to
figure
out
a
way
to
put
instead
of
180
million.
Put
15
million
dollars
to
you
know
fix
the
mechanism
itself,
so
it
won't
get
stuck.
A
It
won't
give
you
any
more
capacity,
but
you
know
that
project
coupled
with
the
extension
of
pot
ferry
road,
is
where
we're
you
know
putting
our
efforts
to
stay
as
far
as
the
improvement.
So
you
know
we're
going
to
keep.
I
think
seaway
is
they're
rehabbing,
that
bridge
structure
as
well
as
the
one
at
port
bayou.
So
we're
going
to
do
that.
So
you
know
it's
just
two
lanes
instead
of
four
lanes,
so
it
wouldn't.
A
I
don't
think
it's
going
to
reach
millions
and
millions
of
dollars,
but
we're
going
to
keep
it
from
at
least
getting
stuck
and
again
from
about
880
million
to
15
million
bridge
rehab,
with
the
ability
to
put
some
enhancements
like
walkways
and
so
forth
at
the
same
time.
But
the
most
important
to
the
next
thing,
you'll
see
from
our
standpoint
is
we're
going
to
make
that
extension
from
pop
ferry
road
to
just
the
rest
of
the
coliseum
happened.
A
That
would
you
know,
make
it
then
and
then
allow
traffic
instead
of
stacking
up
on
pass
road
have
more
ways
to
get
north
at
the
certain
at
the
busy
times
again.
We
can't
get
any
more
capacity
over
that
bridge
two
lane
bridge,
but
we
can
do
some
enhancement
to
it,
but
that
extension
will
make
you
know
less
traffic
on
past
road.
You
know
a
more
graceful
way
to
get
north
or
you
know,
get
off
the
bob's
ferry
road
to
wherever
you're
going.
A
So
there's
been
a
lot
of
thought
on
what
we
should
do,
but
that's
on
the
radar
right
now
we
should
be
able
to
that
was
part
of
this
17
million
dollar
bond
issue.
We
floated
you
know
a
couple
with
infrastructure
and
some
other
infrastructure
projects
were,
you
know,
range
roads,
sewer
drainage,
storm
drain
and
all
that,
that's
what
we're
there.
We
lining
up
what
we
need
to
do
as
far
as
the
next
five
years
really
a
20-year
plan
on
that
bridge,
but
we're.
B
A
Well,
really,
you
know.
In
the
past
we
had
a
lot
of
coal
and
coal
and
some
of
these
other
a
lot
more
maritime
traffic.
Go
there.
You
know
they're
not
doing
coal
anymore,
so
those
barges
are
not
stuck,
you
know
are
getting
stuck
when
they
make
the
corner,
so
that's
a
reduced
load,
but
there's
still
a
tremendous
amount
of
things
that
need
to
be
done.
A
There's
a
tax
situation.
Okay,
so
if
they
parked
in
mississippi
there's
no,
you
know
no
tax
consequence,
whereas
if
they
were
parked
in
new
orleans
there
would
be
so
it's
all
about
the
dollars
right,
everything's
about
money,
not
everything
but
most
of
it
right,
vincent
yeah,
okay,
but
that's
just
another
thought:
okay,
but
anyway,
but
yeah
mike
is
100.
Correct.
There's,
not
a
stress!
You
know
the
stress
on
that
bridge,
from
opening
to
and
from
is
not
as
used
as
what
it
used
to
be.
A
A
Then
we
can
get
a
state
road
designation
and
it
frees
us
up
to
go
ask
for
more
money,
but
that's
going
to
happen
sooner
than
later
and
that's
a
big
part
of
the
you
know
the
the
bond
infrastructure,
that's
before
the
city
council,
but
then
also
right
to
the
north,
there's
some
tremendous
a
lot
of
tremendous
amount
of
traffic
coming
down.
Shriners
boulevard
we're
going
to
do
some
enhancements,
maybe
a
new
roundabout
or
so,
but
I'm
really
excited
about
the
roundabout
at
keystone.
A
So
there's
some
opportunity
to
to
really
use
that
as
a
pilot
project,
but
don't
forget
anything
yeah.
What
else
does
I
need
to
talk
about.
A
Know
were
you
at
the
director's
meeting
yesterday
yeah,
but
yeah
we
spent
you
know
collaborated
with
the
the
coastal
mississippi,
as
well
as
board
of
supervisors
to
to
to
remove
a
lot
of
the
sand
and
debris
that
had
built
up
over
years,
and
now
it's
still,
you
can
see
the
curves.
Now
you
can
see
some
of
the
places
that
were
overgrown
just
because
you
just
couldn't
get
to
it,
and
I
directed
our
parks
and
recreation
and
billy
ray
right.
A
Now
you
could
right
where
you
see
concrete,
you
see
things
you
know
growing
up
through
there.
Now
is
the
time
to
to
strike
so
we,
you
know,
we've
got
a
few
weeks
before
really
summer
season
hits
us,
so
we
you
know
that
million
dollar
project
was
give
us
a
position
to
take
a
bull,
bottle
horns
and
do
what
we
need
to
do
and
you'll
see
our
folks.
You
know
the
three
sand
beach
authority
heads
the
sand,
beach
and
part
of
the
the
roadway.
A
The
county
has
the
the
center
section
and
we
have
the
north
section
for
maintenance.
So
there's
three:
you
know
three
entities
that
you
can
point
at
and
you've
got
mississippi
power
with
the
lights
and
and
those.
So
it's
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
moving
parts,
but
you
know
the
bottom
line.
It's
our
city.
We've
got
to
keep
it
clean,
so
we're
going
to
we're
going
to
make
that
effort
to
at
least
this
summer
be
top
notch
and
look
and
feel
cadet,
marina
we've
in
a
bid
mode.
Right
now
for.
A
Six
million
I'll
upgrade
to
the
harbor,
where
all
the
the
fixed
piers
will
be
floating
floating
docks.
You
know
that
we've
been
talking
about
for
about
five
years
and
then
phase
two
and
phase
three
will
be
go
mesa,
which
is
the
you
know
the
some
some
money.
That's
changed
our
way
for
the
from
the
federal
government.
That's
the
gulf
oil
exploration
security
act,
or
something
like
that.
A
I
guess
where
it
is,
but
anyway,
so
that's
part
of
that
money
and
that's
the
plan
is
to
upgrade
that
harbor
to
get
into
a
floating
doctor.
You
know
to
be
in
line
with
some
of
these
other
top-notch.
You
know
places
with
marina,
then
you
know
this.
A
They
were
actually
working,
removing
all
the
on
the
on
the
western
side,
all
the
the
mortar,
you
know
to
repoint
the
bricks
that's
done
they
they
expect
to
there
was
I
mean
that
ugly
stucco
that
the
green
color,
the
worst
color
ever
in
the
world
they
had
to
remove
the
that
facade.
They
chipped
away
that
and
they're
gonna
replace
it
with
a
you
know,
a
matching
brick
facade,
the
the
new,
the
the
new.
A
What
I
want
to
say
the
the
ticket
booth
as
well
as
the
entries
all
of
that's,
going
to
be
done
by
april
april.
No,
I
think
it's
april
14th,
that's
right!
So
that
will
be
installed,
won't
be
complete
totally.
The
awning
is
on
all
you
know
the
the
replacement
of
the
awning
that'll
be
done
so
we're
hopeful.
You
know
by
may,
the
exterior
will
be
complete.
We've
been
evaluating
some
ideas
on
the
inside
as
far
as
what
can
be
done
inside
the
sanger.
A
You
know
the
orpheum
has
a
movable
sort
of
to
add
functions
to
it,
but
you
know
we
require
just
a
million
or
so
more,
but
but
you
and
I
will
figure
out
how
we
can
pay
for
that
right,
but
no
we're
exploring
every
day
the
long-term
operational
things
that
we
need
to
consider
and
we're
hopeful
again.
A
We
talked
about
ground
zero
tying
through
lee
young
and
his
group
have
been
outstanding
to
work
with
now
they
think
they're
getting
you
can
see
the
demo
of
the
second
floor
of
the
bark
building,
as
well
as
the
appendage
building,
but
bottom
line.
I'm
saying
tie
the
sanger
in
with
that
alley.
A
So
when
events
happen,
you
know
it
can
be
feeding
people
right
off
of
that
the
sanger
event
into
downtown.
So.
A
Yeah,
that
was
great.
That
was
great,
no
fred,
you
know,
god
told
a
story
there,
I'm
a
backup.
You
know
we
we
we're
unique,
I
guess
right,
vincent
biloxi,
it
is.
I'm
gonna
take
a
little
story
that
I
told
serena.
I
went
to
washington
to
accept
an
award
for
solving
veterans
homelessness.
This
is
one
of
my
cousins
and
you
know
biloxi
we
got
we
got.
We
got
a
yankee
stadium
right,
we
got
white
house,
we
got,
we've
got
holy
land,
we've
got
hollywood
and
vine.
Okay,
we've
got
all
this
thing.
A
So
with
all
that
in
mind,
so
I'm
telling
my
cousins
listen.
Serena,
I'm
going
to
go
to
the
white
house
next
week
and
receive
you
know
an
award
from
the
the
first
lady
and
for
sovereign
veterans.
Homelessness.
Well,
I
didn't
know
she
was
coming
here
next
week,
so
but
one
one
of
my
cousins,
but
I'm
telling
one
of
my
friends
I
said,
look
fred
hayes.
A
You
know
apollo
13.,
everybody
knows
what
apollo
11
was
first
one
to
land
on
the
moon,
apollo
13,
the
first
one
to
really
be
challenged
and
coming
back
home
and
oh
yeah,
apollo
13..
He
said:
well,
he
I
mean
fred.
Hayes
is
going
to
be
here.
I
said
yeah
he's
going
to
be
here.
Oh
man,
I
can't
wait
to
ask
him
how
it
was
to
work
with
tom
hanks.
He
said
no,
no,
anyway,
what
what
a
treasure
fred
is
and
he's
88
years
old.
I
believe.
A
Wasn't
he
and
just
show
up
as
attack
and
some
of
the
things
that
you
know
but
his
love
of
biloxi
and
it's
just
unbelievable.
We,
I
think,
colonel
you've
seen
that
the
picture
of
of
the
soldiers
on
downtown
you
know
about
six
thousand
soldiers
doing
armed
forces
a
day
in
1941
pictures
of
42
43.
When
air
force
came
on,
but
fred
told
the
story
that
look.
I
was
a
a
good
kid.
A
He
said
you
know
I
did
my
paper
route,
but
I
like
to
watch,
pool
and
right
there
to
union
bar
said
this
town
was
transformed
from
about
15
000
people
to
almost
over
100
000
overnight
and
all
of
those
were.
You
know
that
hundred
thousand
was
you
know
the
soldiers
and
and
airmen
at
keisler.
They
kept
them.
You
know
in
barracks
and
intense
and
everything
until
the
weekend,
then
they
let
them
loose
and
that's
why
you
had
every
form
of
entertainment
on
this
street
right
here,
every
farm
he
said,
but
I
would
go
there.
A
My
parents
would
let
me
go
to
union
bar.
He
said
in
fact
that's
where
I
learned
geometry,
because
he
said
they
were
world-class
pool
hustlers
and
trying
to
you
know,
take
all
the
soldiers
money
right
right
here
on
that
thing.
So,
but
what
a
treat
I
think
his
next
offer
is
to
come
back
to
biloxi
and
show
some
of
his
home
movies,
so
we're
gonna.
We
look
forward
to
doing
that.
A
So
anyway,
it's
yeah
yeah.
Well,
I
think
we're
shooting
for
mid-may,
mid-may
on
kiesler.
We
had
about
20
of
the
engineers
in
yesterday
last
week.
Wasn't
mike
read
them
all
up
there
and
said
I
did
you
might
call
it
a
pep
talk,
but
no
they
were
serious
and
there's
some
challenges.
There
were
things
that
they
uncovered.
A
You
know
they
didn't
know.
We
didn't.
We
had
a
vendor.
We
didn't
even
know
that
they
were
in
town,
but
you
know
we
cut
their
cable,
but
they
did
they
did
you
know
this
yeah?
There
was
an
instance.
That
said,
I
think
it
was
between
santini
and
and
seal
avenue
where
another
vendor
may
have
penetrated
one
of
these
cables
in
boring,
and
so,
if
that
happens
said
that
one
cable
it
takes
about
five
days
to
replace
so,
but
we're
in,
I
think,
billy
davis
would
talk
to
us.
A
A
A
We
need
to
do
the
highest
priority,
that
what
we
need
to
do
is
extend
pops
ferry,
of
course,
do
the
keys
for
maine
gate,
but
but
popular
needs
to
be
extended
for
all
the
right
reasons,
and
it's
worth
doing
some
some
extraordinary
things,
whether
we've
got
to
borrow
money
or
use
some
of
our
use
tax
or
something
to
do
that.
That's
gonna,
that's
gonna,
be
the
first
thing
to
do,
and
then
recreation.
A
We
talked
about
a.j
holloway
park,
which
is
you
know,
a
number
of
youth
baseball,
softball
soccer,
which
is
used
all
the
time.
But
not
really
you
know
a
lot
has
been
invested
in
it.
You
see
turf
fields,
and
you
see
some
of
these
things
that
reduce
the
ongoing
maintenance.
A
We,
you
know
right
now
it
takes
about
14
people,
you
know
and
it
that
costs
money
to
maintain
what
we
have
as
is
so
we're
gonna,
revise
that
and
that's
about
a
six
million
dollar,
probably
six
point
two
million
dollar
project
that
we're
working
with
so
and
then
you
know
pickleball,
that's
a
big
thing.
I
don't
know
who
plays
pickleball,
but
we
want
to
be.
According
to
george
lawrence,
we
want
to
be
the
pickleball
capital
of
the
country.
A
That's
true,
though
I
mean
you
know,
but
it
really
is,
I
think,
there's
24
out
there
at
pop's
ferry
and
we
could
easily
double
that,
but
that
would
be
you
know
some
of
the
things
that
we
would
address.
You
know
you
know
with
this
bond
money,
but
now
is
the
time
to
borrow
money
right
and
that's
what
we're
talking
about
so
doing
the
pandemic.
A
But
we're
going
to
do
that
and
you
know-
and
I
think
people
have
known
me
know
that
I'm
not
afraid
to
pull
a
trigger
and
we'll
be
doing
that
and
we'll
need
some
some
moral
support
too
from
it.
But
we're
going
to
do
it
to
deliver
those
things
that
we
need
to
be
for
our
kids
and
and
and
their
kids
in
the
future
of
biloxi
is
so
any
other
questions.
D
Thank
you
so
much.
We
appreciate
you
continuing
this
long-standing
luxury
championship
with
us
and
we
will
have
four
more
of
these
this
year.
So
look
to
your
calendar,
your
upcoming
events.
For
that
to
happen,
I
I
think
you'd
agree
that
small
business
makes
a
big
impact
on
biloxi.
We
have
ground
zero
here
we
have
making
groceries
in
boho
down
the
road.
Today,
the
chamber.
D
Fits
into
any
of
these
categories,
please
encourage
them
to
apply
the
reason
we
can
do.
Our
small
business
grant
is
because
of
our
fundraisers,
and
we
have
a
big
one
coming
up
in
biloxi
this
weekend
we
have
our
craft
beer
festival.
This
is
our
fourth
annual
craft
beer
festival.
We
took
a
hiatus
for
two
years
for
obvious
reasons:
we're
going
to
have
over
40
craft
beers
for
people
to
sample
it's
going
to
be
at
mgm
park
on
the
concourse,
and
it's
going
to
be
a
great
time.
D
B
A
No,
I
forgot
to
say
you
know
us,
and
you
know
the
croatian
heritage,
we're
kind
of
nationalistic,
but
I
want
to
invite
anybody
to
to
city
hall,
11
o'clock
this
friday
and
still
a
meet
and
greet
because
this
is
the
first
official
visit
from
the
our
the
croatian
embassy
we'll
have
the
entertain
a
little
meet
and
greet
at
city
hall
and
then
one
after
simone
elijah,
but
eleven
o'clock,
if
you're
not
doing
anything
ambassador
to
the
united
states
from
the
republic
of
croatia,
celinovich
will
be
here
as
well
as
the
general
counsel
who
is
is
lakovich.
A
I
think
her
name
is
sonja
larkovic
we'll
be
here
and
we're
gonna
do
a
little
meet
and
greet
as
well
as
just
give
them
a
tour
of
biloxi.
So
they
they
weren't
aware
of
the
size
friday
at
11
at
city
hall,
so
everybody's
invited
it
won't.
You
know
we'll
just
do
a
little.
You
know
have
an
opportunity
to
to
meet
the
folks,
so
everybody's
invited
so
that
that
was
it.
I'm.
A
Stadium
right
we
got
white
house,
we
got,
we've
got
holy
land,
we've
got
hollywood
and
vine.
Okay,
we've
got
all
this
thing,
so
I
put
all
that
in
mind.
So
I'm
telling
my
cousins
listen,
serena,
I'm
going
to
go
to
the
white
house
next
week
and
receive
you
know
an
award
from
the
the
first
lady
and
for
solving
veterans
homelessness.
Well,
I
didn't
know
she
was
coming
here
next
week,
so
but
one
one
one
of
my
cousins,
but
I'm
telling
one
of
my
friends
I
said,
look
fred
hayes!
A
You
know
apollo,
you
know
13.,
everybody
knows
what
apollo
11

paul
13,
the

and
oh
yeah,
apollo
13.
said
well,
I
mean
fred.
Hayes
is
going
to
be

I
said
yeah
he's
going
to
be
here.
Oh
man,
I
can't
wait
to
ask
him
how
it
was
to
work
with
tom
hanks.
He
said
no,
no.
A
Anyway,
what
what
a
treasure
fred
is
and
he's
88

I
believe:

I

that's
what
we're

the
pandemic.
We
learned
a
lot
of
things
about
refinancing
and
reducing
because
right
now
you
know
we
had
a
little
bit
of
a
bump
the
other
day,
so
that
two
might
be
2.25.
A
But
we're
going
to
do
that
and
you
know-
and
I
think
people
have
known

that
I'm

kids
and
and
and
their
kids
and
the
future
epilepsy
is
so
any
other
questions.
D
Thank
you
so
much.
We
appreciate
you
continuing
this
long-standing
luxury
chamber
tradition
with
us
and
we
will
have
four
more
of
these
this
year.
So
look
to
your
calendar,
your
upcoming
events.
For
that
to
happen,
I
I
think
you'd
agree
that
small
business
makes
a
big
impact
on
biloxi.
We
have
ground
zero
here
we
have
making
groceries
in
boho
down
the
road
today,
the.
A
D
Fits
into
any
of
these
categories,
please
encourage
them
to
apply
the
reason
we
can
do.
Our
small
business
grant
is
because
of
our
fundraisers,
and
we
have
a
big
one
coming
up
in
biloxi
this
weekend
we
have
our
craft
beer
festival.
This
is
our
fourth
annual
craft
beer
festival.
We
took
a
hiatus
for
two
years
for
obvious
reasons:
we're
going
to
have
over
40
craft
beers
for
people
to
sample.
D
A
No,
I
forgot
to
say
now
you
know
us,
and
you
know
the
pro-asian
heritage,
we're
kind
of
nationalistic,
but
I
want
to
invite
anybody
to
to
city
hall,
11
o'clock
this
friday
and
still
a
meet
and
greet
because
this
is
the
first
official
visit
from
our
the
croatian
embassy,
we'll
have
to
entertain
a
little
meet
and
greet
at
city
hall
and
then
one
after
simone
elijah,
but
eleven
o'clock,
if
you're
not
doing
anything
ambassador
to
the
united
states
from
the
republic
of
croatia,
celinovich
will
be
here
as
well
as
the
general
council
who
is
lakovich.
A
I
think
her
name
is
sonja
larkovic
we'll
be
here
and
we're
gonna
do
a
little
meet
and
greet
as
well
as
just
give
them
a
tour
of
biloxi.
So
they
they
weren't
aware
of
the
size
friday
at
11
at
city
hall,
so
everybody's
invited
it
won't.
You
know
we'll
just
do
a
little.
You
know
have
an
opportunity
to
to
meet
the
folks,
so
everybody's
invited
so
that
that
was
it.
I'm
sorry.
E
Through
today,
but
everybody
stays
stay
safe
in
this
weather
event
that
may
or
may
not
be
coming
this
afternoon
and
have
a
great
chamber
day.
