Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Louisiana (HFHNWLA) and Sam's Town Hotel & Casino hosted the Hammer's, Hearts and Homes Ball on Saturday, March 17, 2007.   This first-ever fundraising event for HFHNWLA made a great first-time impression that will carry over to expectations for future events.

Attendees feasted on mouth-watering hors' d oeuvres and delectable desserts provided by Sam's Town Casino and accompanied perfectly by wines donated by Glazer Companies.  Brandy Roberts provided the music and Ed Walsh and Sonja Bailes from KTBS Channel 3 were emcees for the evening.

Guests purchased items ranging from a framed LSU print to a week's stay in a condo in Durango, Colorado.  There was something for everyone and very few left empty-handed! 

Funds raised from the ticket sales and sale of auction items will be used to build the Sam's Town home which is scheduled to begin construction in May, 2007.
