Conference Special Events
Special Events will be exceptionally special at this year's Annual Conference in Sacramento. Here is a listing of just a few of the exciting offerings:
The theme for the 108th Conference is "Raise Our Voice," and you will have many opportunities to do just that at our special events.
First, you can raise a glass --of wine, that is--at the wine tasting event on Friday, Nov. 10 from 2-4:30. Mulvaney's, a new venue in Sacramento housed in an 1893 firehouse, will offer samplings of between six and eight California wines paired with appetizers. The cost is $40.
The next evening, Saturday the 11th, you can raise your fork (or chopsticks, perhaps) as we "dine-around" the Midtown area, selecting from restaurants representing ethnically diverse cuisines. You will be able to follow-a-leader from the convention center to your chosen restaurant location. Details and sign-ups will be available at the Local Arrangements Booth during the conference. The cost will depend on the restaurant chosen.
Right after the Dine-Around, you will be able to really raise your voice--and your arms--at "Shout: An Evening of Rhythm and Dance," where you can pound a drum and learn ethnic dances. No previous experience is necessary to fully enjoy this event that stresses the "active" in "activity." The cost is $20.
For more information, check out these and the other Special Events at the CLA web page: http://www.cla-net.org/events/confexhibition.php.
So, raise them high!
P.S. If you are interested in leading one of the Dine-Arounds, contact me off-list; it will be a fun and low-pressure way to get to know some new people.
