Opening Night
December 2, 2021
The Lafayette Museum Association kicked off the Holiday Season with an “Opening Night” Christmas event on Thursday, December 2, 2021 at the Museum. Guest were treated to culinary delights, entertainment, spirits and signature cocktails, all in a 19th century Christmas setting created by select local florists.
The Lafayette Museum, Historic Home and Gardens, was the setting for active and associate members of Les Vingt-Quatre to gather for their Annual Meeting and Luncheon on Monday, May 17, 2021. The occasion celebrated the 67th birthday of the Lafayette Museum Association. A delicious meal featuring Shrimp Remoulade Salad and Chicken Florentine Pasta was prepared as a surprise by the presidents of Les Vingt-Quatre and the Lafayette Museum Association, who arranged beautiful place settings around gorgeous spring flower arrangements. Officers for 2020-2021 were installed at the meeting.
