In the spring of 2005, a group
of Grand Isle camp owners and
fishing friends met to discuss
organizing a group focused
on the Jewel of the Louisiana
Gulf Coast, Grand Isle. Then
the hurricanes spawned their
wrath on coastal Louisiana,
and our jewel was severely
impacted. Another meeting was
called regarding the status
of the island.
An overwhelming
surge of emotions and a willingness
to help surfaced. Friends of
Grand Isle Inc. was born as
a non profit organization,
officers were elected, and
people went to work with the
purpose of assisting residents
and businesses on the island.
Friends of Grand Isle had their annual meeting at the Grand Isle Community Center on May 1, 2010.
- Support and aid residents
and small business owners
