NAON Foundation
Begin your Congress experience at 6:00 pm on Friday, May 18. Join us in the heart of the French Quarter at the New Orleans School of Cooking where your taste buds will be tantalized and Creole/Cajun experts will teach you New Orleans specialties in a renovated molasses factory. Food, fun and folklore will be the menu of the evening while supporting the NAON Foundation's mission. Following our event you can meander the French Quarter. You must register for this special event on our Web site at http://naonfoundation.org.
In keeping with tradition, our annual Electronics Raffle ($20 tickets), Health Walk ($25) and "building the wall" (minimum $50, which registers you as a member of the Foundation Club) events will provide opportunities to champion the Foundation's efforts. If you prefer to "Sleep in for the Foundation" rather than participate in the Health Walk you can do so for $30!
Don't forget to pack your SOCKS!
The New Orleans Local Affairs team asks that everyone donate new socks, any size or color will do, to be distributed to various local charities. In these tough economic times, there are many people who cannot afford something as basic as new footwear. Just having a clean pair of socks may reduce foot problems for the young, the old, the homeless and many others who do not have the means with which to buy something as basic as socks. This small gesture could lead to improved overall health for someone in need!
NAON Productions Booth
The NAON Productions Booth in the registration area will be stocked with NAON publications and merchandise on sale daily. Plan to stop by to review samples and purchase items to help you in your practice or present as gifts to friends.
