    2019.05.09

    We cordially invite you to join us at Ouisie’s Table on Thursday, May 9, 2019, for our 25th Anniversary Celebration Dinner

    Patricia Gilmore-Maass, Chair Person, and her Celebration Dinner Committee have been hard at work to bring you an exciting and delicious evening.

    https://houstonleipzig.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/HLSCA-Dinner-May-9-2019-Invitation.pdf

    We will start with an al fresco reception (if the weather allows) at 6:15 p.m., so everyone can mingle and greet friends, and around 7:00 p.m. will go into the restaurant for the seated dinner. Our keynote speaker is Prof. Peter “Carl” Carldwell from Rice University, who will give us a brief update on Germany as a European power thirty years after the Peaceful Revolution. If you recall his talk at one of our meetings a few years back, you’ll remember him as an interesting and lively speaker!

    Our enthusiastic MC Stephen Braun will charm us as always, and Sonja Bruzauskas will amuse with some light musical entertainment.

    Ouisie’s Table has asked us to provide them with a firm reservation number by April 25, 2019. If you plan to attend, please RSVP now:

    The ticket price includes a 3-course dinner, one welcome drink during the reception, non-alcoholic beverages during dinner and gratuity. A cash bar will be available.
