Speaker February 26, 2025

Msgr Scott Chemino, Pastor of St Anthony Catholic Church in Bunkie, was the guest speaker at our club meeting on Wednesday February 26, 2025. Msgr Chemino, a native of Bunkie, spoke about his memories of growing up in Bunkie, and highlighted  the New York Cafe, which was  owned and operated by his family, and the role it played in the development of Bunkie. He told us how the cafe worked in conjunction with the railroad to provide meals -  to passengers traveling from Shreveport to New Orleans, - to troops traveling by rail and by convoy. 
Celebrating Bunkie History

In conjunction with our club centennial celebration during 2025, we will have club programs focusing on the history of Bunkie..  The first speaker will be Msgr Scott Chemino.
