If there’s one thing people in DC can do, that’s throw a party. And most of the time, said parties will go to a good cause. This one is going to a great cause.

The State Societies of Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida will host a fundraising reception to benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina on Wednesday, September 7 at the Jones Day Building (311 First St, NW) from 6:00 - 9:00 pm. It’s $20 per ticket and funds will go to the Red Cross. If you are in Washington, please try to make it out.
