Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

For those of you attending the New Orleans Investment
Conference next week, here are the details of the
reception for GATA friends and supporters.

It will be held from 7:30 to 9 p.m. on Thursday,
November 29, in the Borgne Room on the third floor of
the conference hotel, the New Orleans Sheraton, 500
Canal Street. We'll have a lot of nice snacks and
there will be a cash bar.

If you haven't already let us know of your hope to
attend, please send me a note soon so we can prepare
adequately.

And please make a note of the time and place, since
we won't be advertising the reception at the
conference -- we can't afford to feed half of
Louisiana!

CHRIS POWELL, Secretary/Treasurer
