Celebrating the Louisiana Bicentennial: 1812-2012

2012 is the State of Louisiana’s Bicentennial! Join with us to celebrate 200 years of the colorful, flavorful, original and diverse cuisine of Louisiana, a melting pot of French, Spanish, African, Native American and a host of other influences. Festivities include wine, beer, great food, zydeco music, and a raffle/silent auction. “Laissez les bons temps rouler!”

“New Orleans food is as delicious as the less criminal forms of sin.”– Mark Twain, 1884

Sunday, October 14, 2012, 11:30 AM to 3:30 PM

The Davies Building, Charles S. Farnsworth Park, 568 East Mount Curve Ave. Altadena, CA 91001

Members Only, $35 per person, plus a selected dish

We will be meeting in the beautiful, two-story, stone community building completed in 1934. From its perch high in the San Gabriel Mountains’ foothills, visitors can see downtown Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean. The design of the Davies Building reveals the influence of the naturalistic trend of the California arts and crafts period and the handmade, careful construction of local artisans. Furnishings and equipment were funded by the Altadena Women’s Circle, Altadena Women’s Club and several interested individuals. The building still contains the exquisite, handmade wrought-iron light fixtures and fire screens they provided.
