Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser Praises Bill Loiry's Gulf Coast Leadership

Belle Chasse - June 22, 2012. Last week, Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser was a featured speaker at the Gulf Coast Restoration Summit in Destin, Florida.

Hundreds of conference participants listened to President Nungesser and to senior Congressional staff, state legislators, county commissioners, state and city officials, business leaders, environmental experts, and lawyers providing the latest information on the RESTORE Act and other monies designed to help bring financial relief to the people of the U.S. Gulf Coast.

"The people involved in this organization should be praised. They are doing a great job at keeping the response, effects, and aftermath issues of the spill on the forefront," said President Nungesser. "Bill Loiry should also be praised for his efforts with the summit. Myself, Plaquemines Parish, and all of coastal Louisiana are so thankful to him for the work he is doing."

President Clinton Thanks William Loiry

New York - June 14, 2012.

William,

In my travels around the world, I've seen too many people who don't have the tools they need to strengthen their communities and create a better future for themselves and their families. In Rwanda and Malawi, many children are still unable to go to school, many parents can't afford improvements to their homes, and many farming communities remain at the mercy of the weather.

Our work is already starting to make an incredible impact in these countries, and I'm certain that, together, we can help them build a stronger future. And that is all because of you.

Because you refuse to look away when someone is in need, and refuse to assume someone else will solve a problem, we've been able to help thousands of farmers in Rwanda and Malawi increase their yields, find better prices for their harvests, and create a more stable future for themselves and their families.

Your action serves as an inspiration every day. Your support of the Clinton Foundation has made an immeasurable impact on this world, and I cannot thank you enough. Together, we can build a better future.

— Bill Clinton
