2023 Midyear Meeting Highlights
February 1 - 3, 2023
The Roosevelt Hotel
New Orleans, LA
What a fabulous Midyear Meeting at the magnificent Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans! The food was amazing - from The Court of Two Sisters, to Tableau to the Gumbo Shop to Luke's, we all had to let out our waistbands a bit when we got home. We celebrated our award winners - Rita Thompson, our Lifetime Achievement Winner, Kathy Poetting (via zoom), our Outstanding Volunteer of the Year, and our amazing Auxiliaries. We got to meet the charming and entertaining Coach Parker of the Rampart Community Center, our book drive recipient and hear about all the good work he and the Center do. And finally, we are getting fired up about our new volunteer project - to assist at the 2023 National High School Mock Trial Championship in Little Rock this May!
See the details about all our New Orleans adventures below!
