The newly installed LRA Cenla Chapter Board of Directors voted to approve a $35,000 donation to the LRA Education Fund and a $35,000 donation the LRA Hospitality Political Action Committee. The decision came on the night of May 1 at the CENLA chapter board meeting in Alexandria.
The Board of Directors also approved a $15,000 donation to Children’s Miracle Network and other donations to various organizations throughout central Louisiana, including the Cenla Food Bank, Manna House and River Oaks Arts Square. The massive donations come in the wake of the huge success of the chapter’s annual Taste of Mardi Gras event. The 2024 iteration of the “Mardi Gras Ball for All Y’all” marked the 30th anniversary of the fundraiser, with more than 2,500 people in attendance. Following the meeting, the directors were joined by nearly 30 LRA members and guests for a chapter dinner at The Diamond Grill, where 2024 LRA Chair Alan Guilbeau officially swore in the new Board of Directors. The LRA Cenla chapter encompasses 10 parishes in the region and is one of nine Louisiana Restaurant Association chapters across the state.
