Experience Bayou Barataria during an evening in Lafitte! Our May Dinner also includes an optional airboat ride with Airboat Adventures!
Skalleagues –
For our extra special May 19th Skal meeting we have a real treat to offer! For those who can get away early, we will meet at Airboat Adventures, 5145 Fleming Park Road in Lafitte between 3:30-3:45 pm with Skal Member Brett Bares, VP of Airboat Adventures, hosting pre-cruise adult beverages at The Landing venue and at 4 pm experience an airboat ride through Bayou Barataria. If you rather pass on the exhilarating ride, you have the option to just hang and enjoy refreshments at The Landing.
Around 5:15 pm we will all head 9 minutes away to Restaurant des Famille for our traditional hour of networking/cash bar and then a wonderful dinner at 6:30 pm.
Because of this meeting’s out of the ordinary agenda, the dress will be casual and members will be allowed to invite their spouse/significant other.
For members who can’t get away that early, there is also the option to go straight to Restaurant des Familles, located at 7163 Barataria Blvd (Crown Point) starting at 5:30 pm/dinner at 6:30 pm.
