Food -- New Orleans...synonymous!
As
is tradition, AASL attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy a group
dinner. We have chosen the Palace Cafe, in the historic Werlein Music
Store Building on Canal Street. www.palacecafe.com The cost will be $42.00 per person,
which covers tip and tax. (Please bring cash to make my life easier!)
This does not include wine, beer or alcohol, but I assure you they have a
very fine bar.
I
will have to turn in a definite head count, and if our numbers exceed 35, I will
have to give them an exact count on the menu choice. So let your mouth
water as you read the menu below, then email me your reservations
and menu choices by April 3rd, and I will keep
track of it all. [log in to unmask]
