Vegas – The Stars Come Out at Night

If you are planning to attend the AANA Annual Meeting, you won’t want to miss this evening of fun. This unique event will include buffet dinner, drinks, DJ, dancing, host Kenan Thompson and our very own CRNA and SRNA stars who will be performing personal talents on stage.

  

When and Where…
Monday, August 12, 2013, from 7:30 to 11:00 p.m.
Treasure Island Ballroom, Treasure Island Hotel, 3300 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas

  

Our Host…
Actor and comedian, Kenan Thompson, son of Elizabeth Ann Thompson, a Georgia CRNA, will host this evening of talent and fun. Kenan is best known for his work as a cast member of NBC's long-running sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live, as well for his starring roles in the films Good Burger and Fat Albert, and his portrayal of Kenan Rockmore on the Nickelodeon sitcom, Kenan & Kel.

  

 



Talent Search…
Applications for talent are no longer being accepted. Talent acts will be announced in May. 
 
 


What to Wear…
All guests are encouraged to go all out and dress like a star or favorite celebrity. Select a specific person you’d like to portray or plan to walk the red carpet in your own personal style – whether old-Hollywood glamour or wearing one of the nude-toned dresses so popular on the red carpet at this year’s Golden Globes.  
 
Voting…
Guests will have the opportunity to vote for the CRNA/SRNA talent stars – ONE dollar equals ONE vote ("buck-a-vote"). Winners will be announced at the end of the evening based on 1) judges' choice and 2) dollar votes received.
