Well, the cat’s out of the bag as they say. Austin Volunteer Orchestra (AVO) planned on meeting you in 2010. But demand has been so strong – and our rehearsals going so well – that we’ve decided to make a place at our Thanksgiving table for you! On Thursday, November 26, 2009, catch AVO at Austin’s premiere coffee house and coffee importer Ruta Maya.

Music starts at 9 pm. But get there early, because there will be a Potluck Dinner from 7-9pm. Feel free to bring your own tasty vittles for others and share in the generosity of your fellow Austinites!

Ruta Maya is easy to find — its located at 3601 South Congress Avenue, in Austin.

Directions From IH-35: Take the Oltorf Street Exit. Go west on Oltorf Street for approximately three quarters of a mile (.8 miles). Take a left on South Congress Avenue at the intersection of Oltorf Street and South Congress Avenue. Proceed a little less than a mile (.9 miles) and take a left on Alpine Road (adjacent to Expose Gentleman’s Club). Go up the hill and Ruta Maya International Headquarters will be on the left.
