The 2004 March of Dimes Walk America was held at the Lamar University Campus April 24, 2004.

Lamar University's Team Leader for the March of Dimes was:


Tina Wright, Library Assistant
(409) 880-8127

Co-captain and Treasurer
Sharon Sanders, Library Assistant (409) 880-8127

Over the past several years Lamar University has "loaned" it's beautiful campus to the March of Dimes Organization for one day. On this day the March of Dimes Organization holds its annual "Walk America" for Jefferson County.

What goes on? FUN and lots of it! Many area businesses set up along side of each other on Cardinal Field for a day of fun and feasting. Entergy, Mobil, Kroger, FedEx, Blue Bell, and many others provide food, fun, and games for those that walk on their teams.

The Lamar University faculty, staff, and students have combined efforts to create a Lamar University Team.
We believe the Lamar University
TEAM is the best team to be on!

Not even the rain seemed to bother the Staff Senate crew. They were ready to have fun! And after seeing all our fun even traitor Kevin Smith, who was supporting his wife on the LIT team, wanted to be a part of the Lamar University Team. The 2004 goal to be collected by the Lamar University Team is $7000.00 for the March of Dimes.

The Lamar University Team is requested that you attend this year's walk with us on Saturday, April 24, 2004.
If you were not there you were missed and we encourage you to contact one of our team leaders listed above for more information on next year's walk.

The Lamar University Team walkers were provided only the best cooking around!!
This year's menu consisted of:
         Grilled Zummo's Sausage, Boudain links & Hot Dogs for the little ones.
         Bread, Chips, and Brownies for everyone.
         Enough water and assorted drinks to quiench anyone's thurst!

The cooking was performed by Mr. Richard Nero of Sigma Phi Delta with the assistance of Jacqueline Nero, his sister. As always Mr. Nero is dependable and performs his duties with the highest of quality. Jacqueline proved to be a quality team player, falling in and assisting at every chance possible. Everyone agreed that Mr. Nero did a spectacular job cooking and with Jacqueline at his side they are an unbeatable cooking duo! The Cooking Duo resting up!
