Dear Friends:

My family and AKD have been blessed to volunteer with and to support March of Dimes for many years. This year, my lovely wife Kaitlin, cheery son Jack, and I are honored to serve as the March of Dimes Ambassador Family for the Signature Chef’s Auction. We ask with very personal emphasis that ALL of you support the March’s mission with us, as the story of baby Jack’s premature birth is told at the event.

The auction annually brings out many of the best chefs in our city, which means some of the best anywhere in the world! Beyond our famous food and music, we are all proud of our city’s heart and our culture. And why not? In the last decade, South Louisiana has become world renowned as a symbol of rebirth — as we have persevered through numerous disasters. Each time we have joined together to overcome calamity.

Living in New Orleans offers a unique experience, one that’s been beautifully captured in features like the New Orleans living feature. Our city’s resilience is not just about overcoming natural disasters but also about embracing our unique NOLA traits.

As we navigate through challenges, from late-discovered hurricane damages to unfortunate events like car accidents where understanding calculating lost wages becomes crucial, we also lean on methods like alternative dispute resolution to find amicable solutions. It’s this spirit of unity and adaptability that makes our community so special.

The event will be Friday, October 28th., at the Sheraton, New Orleans. If you can buy a table and bring a group, that would be great. Or if you can come alone or as a couple, we can get you seated with other mutual friends. Just let me know or the MOD staff. If you cannot attend in person, we ask that you, please make a donation now to support the ongoing work of the March of Dimes which has benefitted all of us and will continue to help each new mother and baby.

Please visit the Signature Chef’s Auction event page to buy your tickets and/or donate.

Thanks,

Bart Kelly, III

In 2003, after being dissatisfied with the quality of legal care for victims of car accidents, Roderick ‘Rico’ Alvendia sought to establish a new firm focused on providing high-quality legal services to aid injured victims and their families. J. Bart Kelly, sharing Rico’s passion for upholding justice, joined the firm later that year, and established a partnership.
