ASHA 2009 Convention Program - (Page 7)

CONVENTION SCHEDULE-AT-A-GLANCE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21 (Continued) 5:30 p.m.–7:30 p.m. Closing Party, Mardi Gras World East (Ticket Required) Kern Studios is the largest builder of parade floats in the world. Most of the krewes (Carnival clubs) in New Orleans and the surrounding area—including the three largest Mardi Gras parades—have their floats designed and built there, along with the props and other decorations that adorn the floats. At the Closing Party, you’ll have the opportunity to see some of the largest floats from the most well-known parades, as well as other parade props. After viewing the float area, guests will proceed to the Mansion of the Oaks for light hors d’oeuvres and drinks. The Mansion is a simulated old plantation with a garden and starry sky ceiling. Tickets are sold out; however, those interested in attending may check to see if any tickets have been turned in at the registration desk. Tickets for registered attendees are complimentary and guest tickets are $25. Getting Around In New Orleans Visitors to New Orleans will find several transportation options to get from one destination to another. In addition, this year a number of the Convention hotels will be within easy walking distance from the New Orleans Morial Convention Center. ASHA will also be providing free shuttle service for convention attendees to ASHAsponsored events. Around Town ASHA members are encouraged to use the free shuttles that will be running from the Convention Center to the ASHA hotels. Evening shuttles will run after any official ASHA event. Streetcars are inexpensive and a unique way to view national historic landmarks while riding in a national historic landmark. Streetcars run along St. Charles Avenue, Canal Street and the Riverfront. VisiTour passes can also be purchased; one day passes are $5.00 and three-day passes are $12.00. For more information, call the RTA RideLine at 504-248-3900. Taxis are also available. Safety First Remember that New Orleans is like any large city and remaining alert and aware of your surroundings is important. Before venturing out of your hotel, you may wish to consult with the concierge or front desk staff to make sure your destination is in a safe area. Try to avoid walking alone, especially at night. Always remember to remove your ASHA badge when you are outside the Convention Center or your hotel. You may be most vulnerable to pickpockets or purse thieves on Bourbon Street and the French Quarter area, so be sure to secure your wallet and valuables.
