On February 13, 2016, the Atlanta Chapter held its annual Dark Ages Party to celebrate United States Navy heritage and the Founding of USNA. The party was hosted at Der Biergarten, an authentic German restaurant featuring authentic German cuisine and draft beers, located in downtown Atlanta.
Uniform for the Dark Ages Party was casual civilian or naval attire, or Navy spirit wear…rain gear was optional.
The chow line included a variety of German appetizers, sausages, schnitzels, and roasted chicken. Complimentary USNA Alumni Association Atlanta (USNAAAA) Chapter labeled wines and a great selection of German draft beers helped with the flow of sea stories. As a special treat and in honor of Valentine’s Day, each lady in attendance was presented with a red rose.
