RIVERBOAT CRUISE & PARTY
FUN - MUSIC DJ - REFRESHMENTS - NETWORKING
Sponsored by the JWJ Branch of ASALH
In conjunction with the conference, the JWJ Branch will launch our “Riverboat Cruise and Party.” This grand
event will take place aboard the elegant Foxy Lady Scenic Riverboat, which is by far the newest and most
accommodating riverboat venue in Jacksonville. The Foxy Lady is a yacht, uniquely fitted with two levels
of plush interior designs and classy amenities. The exterior has royal features with oversized panoramic
windows for easy viewing of Jacksonville’s historic skyline and the majestic St. Johns River. It is the
perfect backdrop for an evening of fun and networking. You don’t want to miss it!
We’re expecting the “Riverboat Cruise and Party” to sell-out early, so don’t delay, RSVP Today! See attached
flyer for more details.
Please send your $50.00 donation before August 31, 2013 to avoid any price increase. Thanks you and we look
forward to your support for ASALH.
