But there also will be business to attend to for an organization with more than 100,000 customers in Acadia, Avoyelles, Evangeline, Iberia, St. Landry, St. Martin, Vermilion and Lafayette parishes.
Company spokeswoman Mary Laurent says one purpose of the event is to inform customers about SLEMCO — its goals, the state of its infrastructure and plans for hurricane season.
