PETTICOAT LANE CHAPTER We are SO excited. DBE in Louisiana is growing!! Our newest chapter is based in Acadiana, mainly around the Lafayette/New Iberia area, and will receive its charter on September 8th. Petticoat Lane chapter held its "Get Acquainted Meeting" on August 11th, at which time they elected Claire to be their first regent, and chose their name "Petticoat Lane." The photos show that there was plenty of getting acquainted going on!
