Once again the BASH, the premier party and fundraiser in Northeast Louisiana, was a great success for the Northeast Louisiana Chapter of the American Red Cross. Over 1,200 people arrived at Monroe Air Center, Hangar #9, to enjoy the music of WINDSTORM, food from Outback Steakhouse, beverages from Marsala Beverage and Coca-Cola, and an outstanding silent auction. It was a party for everyone!

The great success of the event was due to the capable leadership of Ashley King West. This was Ashley's 4th year to be involved with the event and second year as Chair. Ashley's leadership team included Erica Ryan, Laura Nickelson, Claire Gray, Donna Word, and Leigh Jackson. David Hampton, Board Chair, said "the Red Cross is extremely grateful to everyone in Northeast Louisiana who made this BASH possible." All funds will help deliver Red Cross services in 11 Northeast Louisiana parishes.

Many special thanks to our 2008 BASH Sponsors! By supporting your NELA American Red Cross, you ensure the continued delivery of much needed assistance in your community.

The American Red Cross thanks you and your community thanks you.
