Tribal Elders Annual Grand Epicurean Orgy
“A Taste of New Orleans” awaits CCs at this year’s non-conference dinner getaway. A sample of favorite Creole dishes will be available for all who enjoy new dining experiences. For more timid palates, an alternative fried shrimp platter will be offered.

A fixed-price of $35 per person will be due upon registration. Reservations should be made as soon as possible. This event is limited to the first 48 people who sign up by contacting CC Treasurer Tom Kerr by phone or email before the conference or in person at the Westin.
Call Tom at 850 897-7743 (home) or 850 496-4133 (cell). Email: tripstogo@cox.net.

Others may be wait-listed in case of cancellations. Beer, wine and cocktail service will be available (pay as you go).
