She planned to return to her job at Oschner Hospital that following month—on Aug. 29, to be exact. Something got in the way of her plan; something called Hurricane Katrina. Like so many others, Bee chose not to evacuate and stayed in her home to wait out the storm. After all, she had remained at home for the last three hurricanes. She thought she’d be okay.

The plaza comes to the Fayetteville, Arkansas located historic institution as a “thank you” gift from the Louisiana Conference to the South Central Jurisdiction for the many disaster relief teams and hundreds of volunteers that traveled to assist with hurricane response efforts over the last three years. “Mount Sequoyah is the official retreat and conference center of the South Central Jurisdiction, and is the center of United Methodism for our jurisdiction,” said Rev.
