Clark County Red Cross Gala Nominations Deadline Approaching

The 2010 Bales’ Humanitarian of the Year Nomination committee would like to remind the community that the deadline for submitting nominations for this year’s recognition Gala is rapidly approaching. All nominations for the annual award must be received by close of business, Wednesday, March 17. The Clark County Red Cross annually recognizes members of the community who display the qualifications of community service, high ethical ideals, fairness, good will and friendship. The person should live or work in Clark County.

The Gala is also the primary fundraising event for the Chapter. In addition to the dinner and honors, a live and silent auction will provide attendees the opportunity to support Disaster Relief efforts in Clark County.

If you know someone in the community who would be a good candidate for this honor, please contact Phyllis Wilkins at the Chapter to obtain a nomination form. Mrs. Wilkins can be reached at 812-283-8416 or ccrc.wilkinsp@insightbb.com.

Sponsorships and items for both auctions are also being accepted at this time. Please contact Kate Merchant at 812-283-8416 or ccrc.cpr@insightbb.com for these.

The 2010 Bales’ Humanitarian Gala will be held at Kye’s in Jeffersonville. Tickets for the event are $75.00 per person.
