Everyone Comes to the ENA President's Party

It may be a few thousand miles from the deserts of North Africa, but you will feel like you’ve been transported to a Moroccan paradise when you attend the 2009 ENA President’s Party, “An Evening in Casablanca,” Wednesday, October 7, from 7:30 to 10 p.m.

After slogging through airports or highway traffic, start your 2009 ENA Annual Conference experience off right with a relaxing evening of elegant entertainment, fabulous décor and a delectable light supper. Round up the usual suspects and head over to the Baltimore Hilton Ballroom to bask in the cool sophistication of an authentic a cappella group. The delightful tropical setting will be the hottest nightspot in town, especially when “Frank Sinatra” makes a special appearance.

“I loved the idea of a theme party,” said 2009 ENA President William T. Briggs. A classic movie buff and enthusiastic world traveler, Briggs will be your gracious host for the 2009 President’s Party. “The idea of a party returning to a grander age intrigued me. A little mystery, a little romance, a chance to dress up and dance to the music of Sinatra—what more could you ask?”

Black-and-white attire is encouraged but not expected—you don’t need formal wear to walk into this gin joint. You do need a ticket, though: Click Here or stop by the registration area at the Baltimore Convention Center. Tickets are $65. The ENA President’s Party usually sells out, so hurry and reserve your tickets now.

“An Evening in Casablanca” has everything an ENA Annual Conference attendee could want—fantastic food and entertainment, a chance to catch up with colleagues and network with your 2009 ENA president and board of directors—all in a setting worthy of Ingrid and Humphrey.

We know what you want to hear.
