Arc of Acadiana Mardi Gras Bead Drive in Full Swing
The Arc of Acadiana and Lafayette Auto Dealers Association is committed to securing for all people with disabilities the opportunity to develop, participate and live life to their fullest potential, which includes job training and employment.
Now through March 31, LADA will be sponsoring a Mardi Gras Bead Drive.

Unwanted beads can be dropped off at any of the following LADA dealerships:
- Hub City Ford
- Service Chevrolet
- Southwest Volkswagon
- Acadiana Dodge, Mazda
- Giles Nissan, Volvo, Subaru
- Sterling Kia, Hyundai, Suzuki
