NEW DATE: 2021 Skal Installation of new Officers at the new Tujague’s Restaurant moved to Monday, February 22
Skalleagues…
Because of the January Covid restrictions of 25% occupancy in restaurants, our very special Installation of Officers Meeting will NOW take place on Monday, February 22 at the "new" Tujagues location at 429 Decatur St.
***REMINDER…all Past Presidents of Skal…please bring your special President's goblet to this meeting for our annual photo opp!***
We will be taking extra safety precautions over and above the following of all CDC protocol.
Just as we did for our very successful Christmas Dinner, we will have long beads at the registration table in the colors of RED, YELLOW & GREEN for members to choose from. The color each individual chooses alerts others in the room to respect your concerns and be mindful to stay 6 ft away from those wearing RED (for example). More details will be at the registration table.
Please note...because of the room capacity limitations of 50% …this month we are asking all members who choose to wear the GREEN beads to sit at special round tables of 8. RED and YELLOW beads are asked to sit at all other round tables of 6.
Skal Member Shelly Dupuy and Tujague's proprietor Mark Latter are so excited that Skal New Orleans members are among the first to see their new location and they have a fabulous event planned for us.
Cocktails during the networking will be both inside and outside (either courtyard or balcony…weather permitting) and we will have their large private dining room so we can spread out our seating.
Chef has planned an exceptionally special dinner menu for us and we will have an "open" bar from 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm as well as wine with dinner. See menu below…

Turtle Soup Au Sherry
2nd Course:
