Annual Banquet

Thursday, October 11, 6 p.m. – 10 p.m.

Please join us for the NAA's annual banquet and awards ceremony at the world-renowned Cleveland Museum of Natural History. The Museum is well-known for "Lucy," a 3.2 million-year-old partial skeleton discovered in Ethiopia in 1974. Visitors can see a cast of the original skeletal materials and reconstruction of what Lucy's full skeleton might have looked.

You'll enjoy a delightful trolley ride that will take you directly to and from the Museum. While you enjoy a delicious buffet and libations, stroll through the galleries which will take you from the Big Bang (located in Reinberger Hall of Earth and Planetary Exploration) through the Kirtland Hall of Prehistoric Life, the Perkin;s Native Plant Garden and Sears Hall of Human Ecology. You will also have an opportunity to see a show in the Museum's Shafran Planetarium.

The banquet and trolley ride are both included with full registration. Trolleys will begin departing from the Marriott at 5:30 p.m. So come spend a wonderful evening that includes dinner, exciting silent & live auction items, the annual awards ceremony, live entertainment and a chance to mingle with your peers.
