The Governor of Louisiana will have a short meeting with The Worshipful The Mayor of Eastbourne on 16 July 2007. The meeting is part of a visit to thank people for their help and support following the devastating Hurricane in 2005.
The Mayor of Eastbourne, Councillor Mary Pooley says, “People in East Sussex are aware of natural disasters but nothing on the scale that America faced. Everyone saw the devastation caused by the Hurricane. People locally were greatly concerned and we hope things have improved.”
The meeting will take place prior to a formal lunch at the Chatsworth Hotel hosted by the town’s MP.
