UL Lafayette Ragin’ Cajun Water Ski Team Performs Community Service!

On Saturday February 24, 2018 The Ragin’ Cajun Waterski Team at University of Louisiana at Lafayette assisted The Louisiana Chapter of Heroes on the Water. Local veteran and former water ski team member Barry Guidry put the call out for help and the team responded. They were testing a kayak with a break away seat which will allow disabled veterans to get back on the water. The team joined the Student Veterans Association and their number one fan Terry Crownover at the Marine Survival Training Center. Assisting with this were team members Alice Bagnoli, Carlotta Bonnemann, MaryLou Major, MarieLou Moulanier, Leah Newcombe, Brody Newton, Kim Niederbäumer, and Conley Pinette.
