| The Algiers Point Association was established as a residents civic organization in 1972, and has been an important force in the progress and success of our community ever since. The Algiers Point Association (APA) was originally formed to promote historic interest, preserve the architectural integrity, and to promote the civic betterment and social improvement of the residents of Algiers Point (that area bounded by Atlantic and Newton Streets and the Mississippi River.
Let's take a look at what the Algiers Point Association accomplished during the past twelve months with your help:
- we published what I believe is one of the best monthly community newspapers in the State
- we provided an ongoing Email network service keeping residents informed on news, events, and crime prevention
- we produced a remarkable Algiers Point website www.algierspoint.org
- we provided monthly open community meetings to address the needs of our residents and businesses
- we donated monies to local schools and churches
- we produced and distributed a Walking Tour brochure for tourists and guests
- we produced another annual Home and Garden Tour showcasing our unique community
- we helped to raise close to $200,000.00 for a wounded 4th District NOPD Officer
- we replaced the old Algiers Point signs on Opelousas avenue with two new beautiful signs framed with old brick columns
- we produced another annual Treasures From the Point Porch Sale
- we produced another annual Night Out Against Crime community celebration
- we gave a wonderful Holiday Party for everyone in Algiers Point
- our Board of Directors worked diligently to make sure our community voice was represented at major meetings, such as at the City Council and LRA Recovery sessions
