Welcome from Spanish Town Ladies’ Auxiliary The Spanish Town Ladies’ Auxiliary (STLA) is glad to be back after being gone a year due to Covid. In 2020 we gave out a record amount to our charities of $20,500. Even though we did not have all our events last year, we were still able to donate in 2021, $10,000 to charities who desperately needed funding.

All our charities help in the local community and support women, children and animals who are in need.

As your president, I am proud of the work that we do and all the volunteer hours that our members donate. Without the generosity of the giving STLA women, we would not be able to assist so many people in need. It is members of STLA who make us successful. We look forward to a great year and hope to have more people join our organization who want to donate their time to make their community better.

Please enjoy the brunch and do not forget to bid on items in the silent auction. This auction helps support all our wonderful charities. Place a bid and win an item if you can, it truly can make a difference. Thank you for your support and we look forward to partying with you at the ball and the parade!

All About STLA & How To Join

The Spanish Town Ladies’ Auxiliary, Inc. (“STLA”), was organized in June 2004 and incorporated in 2005 as a Louisiana non-profit corporation. Our goals are to have fun, to assist SPLL and help promote the Spanish Town Mardi Gras Ball & Parade endeavor, and to help raise funds for local charities that provide for the needs of women, children and animals in our area.

Charitable beneficiaries have included: ARC of East Ascension (Children’s Services), Baton Rouge Area Cancer Services (Women’s & Children’s Services), Baton Rouge General Burn Foundation (Camp Catahoula), Blue Star Moms of Louisiana, Cat Haven, Dreams Come True of Louisiana, Lion’s Club of Louisiana (Children’s Camp Fund) , McMains Children’s Developmental Center, Rescue, Rehome, Repeat (Vet/Shelter Expenses), St. Vincent DePaul Sweet Dreams Shelter.

We are an active group that continues well beyond the Mardi Gras season with monthly meetings at restaurants or member’s homes. STLA also hosts two annual Spanish Town Mardi Gras promotion and charity fund raising events: Our Royalty Brunch, generally scheduled two weeks prior to the Ball, to honor our current and past Spanish Town Mardi Gras Royal Courts, and our Charity Bowling Tournament, generally held the last Saturday in June.

We traditionally host a Christmas Party and a Spring STLA/SPLL Crawfish Boil, as well as form a STLA team for charity events. We also provide help to SPLL to decorate for the Ball and to “flock” the LSU Lakes, plus offer assistance to the current Queen in hosting her Queen’s Party and the raffling of the “Queen’s Necklace.”

Annual $25.00 membership dues are due June 1st each year, except for new members joining after January 1st, who will not owe again for the year of joining.

If you share our goals and are interested in joining, please contact any STLA member or our membership chair Mona Lisa Maynard (monalisamaynard@yahoo.com) for an application and further information.
