Krewe of Arsenal - New Orleans Gooners

In other parts of the world, it is Lunar New Year and Shrove Tuesday.

In our small, funny corner of the world, today is MARDI GRAS 💜💚💛!!

Whatever you celebrate, may it be exciting. May it fill your heart with good energy. May it give you all you need.

🎭

So, part of the fun of every year is our Friday night raffle! We have fun, bid money on Arsenal prizes, and generally proclaim that it is all rigged when we don't win! But we also do this to fundraise for worthwhile causes. This year, we chose Gooner Gras 2016's King, Steven Manios' campaign to raise funds for the Hurricane Melissa victims of Port Antonio, Jamaica. King Steve has a deep love for Jamaica and Port Antonio, and we know all too well what it is like to need help back to our feet after a hurricane. Well, thanks to everyone who donated, who participated, and who helped, the Krewe is able to donate $3000 to his efforts!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! To each and every one of you! Know your contributions have helped real people on the ground, and you are all winners for doing that!

The need continues. If you want to help out, their gofundme link is below. Thank you in advance!

SAVE THE DATE, FELLOW GOONERS!

We've been asked, and while we are hard at work, we want to make sure y'all know that GOONER GRAS 2026 IS ON! Yes, our yearly get-together and fun time is on and will be happening! Stay tuned and ready!

Well, in case you have not heard, we have had to say goodbye to our intrepid branch manager, Shawn, and his better half, the one-and-only Tiffany. After managing the Krewe for a number of seasons, they have said farewell to our swampy, humid surroundings and decided to move to...the swampy and humid surroundings of Florida!

We cannot thank them for all their efforts for the Krewe these past years. From helping see Gooner Gras grow every single season through the craziness of the pandemic and ensuring the Krewe remains one of the best branches in all of Arsenal America and more, all we can say is: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Please Orlando Gooners take the best of care of them!

Meanwhile, the Krewe will go on. Stay tuned for news and updates. BTW, save the date for Gooner Gras 2026: Jan 29 - Feb 1!
