Thursday’s evening event will include dinner with the installation of officers for 2013 and entertainment by 50’s & 60’s band Na Na Sha. Please wear your favorite “sock hop” attire to enjoy the classic sounds of rock-n-roll. You may win a prize!

As soon as we have finalized the agenda, we will post it onto the LATA website. However, at this time the agenda is scheduled to include State Treasurer, John Kennedy; writer and political humorist, John Maginnis; Chief of Staff, Paul Rainwater; Asst. Attorney General, Tom McCormick and the Bill and Rusty show.

We look forward to seeing you in December. And don’t forget to make your hotel reservation by November 5th.
