50 over 50 Gala

September 2024

In September, we will present a 50 Over 50 list to recognize and celebrate their courageous, compassionate, and selfless acts of service. Our listeners have nominated and choose notable individuals over the age of 50 who are giving their all as they care for others, reimagine their careers and businesses, and give hope to our communities. They don’t adhere to the belief that our capacity to blaze a trail or shake things up diminishes as we age. They’re living life on their own terms and improving the lives of others all at the same time.

choctaw-apache powwow

April 2024

On the last weekend of April, the Choctaw-Apache Tribe, located on the banks of Toledo Bend at the Community of Ebarb, hosts a traditional Powwow. The Choctaw-Apache Tribal Powwow celebrates the 2,500-plus member tribe’s roots.

The Tribe is essentially 21 families strong, and according to tribal records, 13 of the tribe’s families were associated with the mission and presidio of Los Adaes. After being forced by the Spanish crown to move from Los Adaes to San Antonio in 1778, the families made their way back as close as east Texas and resettled the abandoned mission at Nacogdoches. It was only a matter of time before those families and eight others resettled their ancestral lands on the east side of the Sabine River in what was to become Sabine Parish between 1835 and 1870.

The Choctaw Apache Powwow is a celebration of Native American Culture; enjoy traditional dancing, unique craft items, jewelry, and Indian Fellowship.

Salvation Army Food Drive

December 2015

In an effort to help spread a little holiday cheer this Thanksgiving, Attorney B. Trey Morris donated 150 turkeys and 50 pies in support of the Shreveport Salvation Army’s annual Thanksgiving feast for the needy. Attorney Morris and volunteers from the Salvation Army went to a local Walmart and purchased the turkeys, which were to be prepared and served to more than 1,100 people.

Hundreds of volunteers came together to prepare the feast, which ended up being a great success. After putting out a call for turkey donations, the community came together in a big way and donated more turkeys than the Salvation Army had room for. Morris & Dewett is proud to be able to give back to the community and hopes to continue to support those who are less fortunate.
