Alli deJong is originally from Michigan, via Chicago, and is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame. Alli is one of those wonderful young people who came to New Orleans to volunteer after Hurricane Katrina and the Federal Flood and never wanted to leave. She likes hockey, riding a bicycle for transportation, the National Park System, eggplant fries, and college football. She dislikes airport security, pollution, microwave popcorn, and truck nuts. Alli is a member of the Krewe of Mama Roux and lives in Bayou St. John.
Alli serves as stage manager for the conference and organizes our food drive for Second Harvest Food Bank of Greater New Orleans and Acadiana. Here is a picture of Alli in front of Mount Rainier. Enjoy.
