Camellias in Slidell and the Ozone Camellia Club

Michael Tassin gave us a history of the Ozone Camellia Club, which formed in 1951, and how camellias were introduced to our area.  The club meets the first Monday of every month and holds a ball with a court, including queen and consort.  The Queen is invited every year to the Washington Mardi Gras Ball in D.C.
