Taste of the Cuisine and Culture of the Arab World" will take place from 9:00
p.m. to 1:00 a.m. on Tuesday, September 2nd at theMinneapolis Convention

TheMinneapolis Convention Center is across the street from two downtown
hotels, the Hyatt and the Millenium, which are stops on the GOP Express Bus
from the Xcel Center, so delegates who are not driving can use the convention
bus to get there.

delighted that Ray LaHood is stopping by around 10:30 to say a few words. We
also expect several members of congress and ambassadors from Arab states to
