WELCOME

 

 

Welcome to the ASHRAE Region VII CRC in New Orleans, LA!

 

 

We are pleased to extend a warm welcome to all of our fellow ASHRAE members and their families to one of the world’s most interesting and historical cities.  We are so happy to have you here, and to have an opportunity to share our unique city and all it has to offer.

 

We have a wonderful meeting planned this year.  We hope that you take the opportunity to explore New Orleans a bit, and see why this city has cast a spell over so many of its visitors and residents alike.

 

Special thanks are extended to our outstanding CRC Committee Chairpersons and volunteers.  Without your help, this CRC would not be possible.

 

The CRC is an outstanding opportunity for fellowship, collaboration, and encouragement with all of your fellow ASHRAE members from across this great region.  I encourage each of you to take full advantage of the amenities and opportunities available to you this year in New Orleans.

 

Our CRC will be based primarily in the Royal Sonesta Hotel on world-famous Bourbon Street.  Our meetings, dinners, lunches, and the ever-popular Hospitality Suite on the balcony overlooking Bourbon Street will be available right in this glorious old hotel in the heart of the French Quarter.  Don’t let your adventure stop there, though.  There are numerous other distractions available right outside your door – world-class dining, antique shopping, haunted history tours, Harrah’s Casino, the world-renowned Audubon Zoo, the Aquarium of the Americas, and several museums (including the recently-expanded National World War II Museum, the New Orleans Museum of Art, and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art).  Plan to come early and leave late!

 

If there is anything you might need to make your visit more enjoyable or productive, or if you have any questions concerning your upcoming visit to New Orleans, please don’t hesitate to contact me or one of the Committee Chairpersons.  Once again, we look forward to having you here, and we hope you have a wonderful time.

 

Laissez le bon temps rouler – Let the Good Times Roll!
