Ladies are asked not to wear high heels on board the Elissa. During the reception there will be three showings of the

Storm graphically tells the story of the Hurricane of 1900 and relates how
it has defined the history of this great city. Annual Meeting and Luncheon - [SE4] Get updated on APT’s activities over a complimentary lunch.

of the Galveston Historical Foundation who will be our host for the
evening. The building is still owned by the US Government. This will be a
relaxed evening with a cash bar and delicious food served by Benno’s, an
