As a former Ul student and a past AADe scholarship recipient, it gives me a great sense of pride to be given the opportunity to give back to the organization and community that was there in my time of need. for the 2009 fall semester, your support and contributions have allowed the lafayette chapter to fund $42,500 in petroleum engineering scholarships. this is by far the largest scholarship contribution that this organization has ever committed to for a single semester. in addition to the strong scholarship funding campaign, the AADe lafayette chapter has continued its financial commitment to the 2009 fall SCHolarSHIpS for the 2009 fall semester, your support and contributions have allowed the aade lafayette Chapter to fund $42,500 in petroleum engineering scholarships. University of louisiana at lafayette petroleum engineering mud lab for upgrades, renovations and equipment purchases. in the course of the next two fiscal years, the lafayette chapter will continue to provide installment payments on the $250,000 renovation project. this project was a major success because of the overwhelming support from the AADe National chapter, AADe New orleans chapter, spe, Api, iadc, Knight companies, lafayette oilman's sporting clays shoot inc., halliburton and chevron. in closing, i would like to end this message with my own personal flair and a little bit of humor: Boudreaux and thibodeaux go to see a movie. Boudreaux, in the middle of the movie, turns to thibodeaux and says, "Betcha five bucks he falls off da horse." "you're on," says thibodeaux. sure enough, the guy in the movie falls off his horse. thibodeaux hands his friend the five bucks. Boudreaux admits, "i've seen this movie before. i knew he'd fall off da horse." he hands him back the money. thibodeaux tells him, "i've seen this movie before, too. i just didn't think he'd be stupid enough to fall off his horse again!"
