Laissez les bons temps rouler! New and current members are invited to sign up for an optional New Orleans–style dine-out. Grab a seat at a local restaurant with a small group, enjoy great food, share a few laughs, catch up with old friends, and make some new ones along the way—Big Easy style.

Sign-up sheets will be available at the registration desk. It’s completely optional, but if you’re feeling the NOLA spirit (and maybe craving a little extra flavor), we’d love to have you join us.
