Offshore Liftboats Press Release:

HORNETS and OFFSHORE LIFTBOATS DEDICATE
NEW PLAYGROUND IN LAROSE
August 22, 2012

NEW ORLEANS – The New Orleans Hornets and Offshore Liftboats, L.L.C. will dedicate a new community playground on today, August 22 at 1:00 p.m. at Holy Rosary Catholic School (12925 East Main Street, Larose, La.). Hornets radio play-by-play announcer Sean Kelley will host the event and Hugo and the Honeybees will be on hand to help dedicate the playground.

The playground was designed to represent the Hornets with the use of the organization’s unique color scheme.

“The Hornets have had a relationship with Offshore Liftboats for the last five years and they’ve not only demonstrated their commitment to the organization, but to the community over that time,” said Tom Benson, Owner/Chairman of the Hornets and Saints. “We are proud to partner with Offshore Liftboats on this beautiful, new playground in Larose. We hope it gives students at Holy Rosary, in addition to kids in the community, the opportunity to be active and enjoy playing with their friends.”

Offshore Liftboats has been a long-time supporter of Holy Rosary Catholic School as it continues to build upon its reputation as one of the finest Catholic diocesan schools within Lafouche and Terrebonne Parishes. The school is currently undergoing a number of upgrades, including a new student chapel and a meditation/prayer garden that will feature walking paths and religious statues.

The new playground will mark the second public facility that the Hornets have had a hand in refurbishing or building in the Larose community. Through its partnership with BP, the Hornets refurbished a basketball court at the Larose Regional Park & Civic Center.

National Maritime Day

On National Maritime Day, America honors our highly skilled mariners who sail the high seas, support those on the front lines of the war on terror, and promote commerce around the world.
Since 1775, the United States Merchant Marine has served our country, helping America become a great maritime power. During the Second World War, courageous mariners were among those who suffered greatly -- hundreds of ships were lost to enemy action, and many mariners made the ultimate sacrifice. We pay tribute to these heroes who answered the call to serve when our Nation needed them most. Today, our merchant mariners continue to protect our homeland, including by supporting our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In times of peace and war, these brave patriots help keep our Nation safe and strengthen our economy. By transporting American goods across the oceans, merchant mariners facilitate commerce and advance trade. These Americans honor the noble traditions of seafarers and enrich our country's maritime heritage.
In recognition of the importance of the U.S. Merchant Marine, the Congress, by joint resolution approved on May 20, 1933, as amended, has designated May 22 of each year as "National Maritime Day," ~ George W. Bush 2008

Offshore Liftboats would like to say Thank You to all our mariners not just on National Maritime Day but everyday of the year!  Your service to this country and this industry is appreciated and does not go unnoticed.
