Tickets are still available for the 45th Symposium Anniversary Banquet.
The evening's festivities will begin with a cocktail hour featuring a jazz trio, which will also play during dinner. The banquet will be a special celebration of the Symposium's anniversary. A retrospective slide show and a game to "test your Symposium memory" are planned. The evening promises to be an enjoyable and sometimes irreverent celebration of the Symposium's past and future.
