Conference Dinner
For the conference dinner, we will take a short walk to the Inn at the Loretto Chapel. The inn itself is beautiful, and it is attached to the Loretto Chapel which is famous for its “miraculous staircase”. There will be a social hour followed by a wonderful dinner where we can enjoy the sights and smells of New Mexico!
