For those of you who will be attending the American Society of Andrology's
Annual Meeting in Louisville, Kentucky next month....
####################
ANNUAL BANQUET
Please note that ASA's annual banquet, which will be held at the Kentucky
Derby Museum at Churchill Downs on Sunday, April 11, will be INFORMAL.
Experience "the two most exciting minutes in sports" at the Kentucky Derby
Museum -- the only museum in the world dedicated to a single horse race.
The museum offers hands-on computerized exhibits and a 360-degree
multi-media show. We will dine on Kentucky favorites and enjoy the sounds
of The Cumberlands, a local country western/bluegrass band. Again,
informal (or "business casual") attire is suggested.
(If you're not planning on attending the banquet, you will be missing out
on a sensational event! Tickets are still available... email
