2009 Mardi Gras Gala Over 140 guests attended the fourth annual Mardi Gras celebration at the YWCA.  The YWCA was transformed into Bourbon Street with purple, green and gold decorations.  Guests were served wine from the bar and had the chance to snack on gourmet hors d'oeuvres during the evening.  Guests also had an opportunity to win door prizes, buy tickets for the 50/50 raffle and have a piece of the Mardi Gras birthday cake to celebrate all the February birthdays among the crowd.  It was a fun and enjoyable evening for all who attended.  A special thank you to YWCA Board Member Suzanne Mahady for making this extraordinary event a huge success!
