6:30 pm – 9:30 pm Mardi Gras Celebration Event

The rich history of Mardi Gras is the backdrop for the Mardi Gras Celebration Event on Sunday, October 11. To be held at Mardi Gras World, this opening event for Counselors, spouses and guests is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the Counselors’ own private Mardi Gras in October—not March!

Mardi Gras World is a unique venue where you’ll discover the spectacular works of art that become Mardi Gras floats. MGW is home to Blaine Kern Artists—a premier manufacturer of floats created for Mardi Gras celebrations held around the world. You’ll be surrounded by splendor—walking among the
spectacular floats. This behind-the-scenes look at the actual
manufacturing facility where it all happens is a memory you
will long treasure.

Come in your jeans and khakis—relax and immerse yourself
in the festive atmosphere. Get ready for traditional New Orleans cuisine served buffet style; some unique surprises and the great company of Counselors, spouses and guests. Get ready to party!

Roundtrip transportation will be provided from the Hotel
Monteleone to Mardi Gras World.

Chairman's Hospitality Suite

Continue your conversations at the Chairman’s Hospitality Suite,
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evening. No special invitation is
required—Counselors and their registered spouses and guests are welcome. It’s a highlight of every national meeting—but this year the suite opens onto a beautiful patio, making it all the more The Place to Be after hours.


 

MONDAY Oct. 12

Begins - Ends
Event
6:30 pm - 9:30 pm Chairman’s Dinner Event
at the famous Antoine’s Restaurant


Celebrating the past year for The Counselors and looking Forward to the next…the Chairman’s Dinner Event is where it
comes together, celebrating 2009 Chairman and First Lady A.C. and Marilyn Schwethelm, and their year of service. It’s an evening of exceptional New Orleans French-Creole cuisine in the company of friends and “family”—Counselors, spouses and guests. And before the evening is over, we will welcome 2010 Chairman and First Lady Art and Gail Pasquarella into their new leadership roles.

This year, the setting is Antoine’s, one of the most celebrated
restaurants in the city. Dating to 1840, Antoine’s has been at the epicenter of New Orleans society and tourism for generations—and is forever memorialized through the 1948 book Dinner at Antoine’s, a mystery classic written by Frances Parkinson Keyes.

Antoine’s is the quintessential New Orleans dining establishment—the perfect setting for the CRE Chairman’s Dinner. Experience the history, the charm, the fine cuisine and the best company in the world…then enjoy an evening of music and people-watching along the fabled streets of the French Quarter, just steps away. Don’t miss this opportunity to have your own “Dinner at Antoine’s” (but without the mystery).
9:30 pm – 11:30 pm
