On Thursday, the Monroe Chamber of Commerce hosted "Ouachita101", an expo of local organizations and service groups sharing their work with those who have recently moved toOuachitaParish.

Chamber President Sue Nicholson says the event is a convenient way to connect new employees to a new environment.  "It helps them get plugged in.  It also can show what's available for their family," she said.

Nicholson says there are a few 101 sessions each year.  The next program is scheduled for November.
