AALL Opening Reception

AALL opened with an after-dinner dessert extravaganza sponsored by LexisNexis. This was the place to be on the evening of July 14th to network and catch up with old friends, enjoy some sweets, and even dance the night away to a live band. Delicious indulgences tempted from every table - bread pudding, beignets, king cake, sweet potato and pecan pie, cobblers, chocolate dipped strawberries, and beautiful chocolate boxes almost too pretty to eat, were some of the treats that were offered. The ambiance was, of course, all New Orleans.

Fun Walk & Run

There were quite a number of us that started the Sunday early by celebrating the rain and humidity as we took part in the 25th Annual Hein & Co.'s Fun Walk and Run along the river. Escorted by local police, the participants finished the 3.2 mile track for the runners and (I believe) 1.6 mile for the walkers before 7:30 a.m.

And, as in past years, costumes were adorned by some of the participants, and of course, the Master of Ceremonies (Richard Spinelli)!

I must admit the goal for me was this year's t-shirt: a funky, cool tie-dye shirt!

Thanks again to Hein for sponsoring this wonderful event!
