Non-members pay more
at NABCs

Here's yet another good reason to
join the ACBL: Beginning in 2014,
NABC entry fees for non-members
will increase. Non-members will be
charged $4 more per session than what
members pay. For example, the entry
fee for a one-session side game at an
NABC is $16 for ACBL members, but
will be $20 for non-members.

Picnic-worthy lawn? Check. Playground for the kiddos? Check. Place for the
pooch? Check. This brand-new park bordering the Dallas Arts District has it all.
Style arbiter and luxury purveyor Neiman Marcus elevates shopping from an
everyday errand to an experience. Its flagship location (opened in 1907) is a must.

Scoot Your Boots at Cowboys Red River

Whether your boots just came out of the box or the barn, you'll have a good time
two-stepping around the Cowboys dance floor. Relax - they offer lessons. Enjoy a
drink and then test your mettle on the mechanical bull.

Tour the Sixth Floor Museum

President John F. Kennedy was assassinated 50 years ago, but his life and legacy
still fascinate. The museum, housed in the building where a sniper's nest and rifle
were found, presents an impartial view of the tragic piece of Dallas history.

Buy or Browse at Highland Park Village

The upscale retail development, a National Historic Landmark, was cuttingedge when it opened in 1931. Its boutiques and Spanish architecture still wow.

Marvel at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science

Dallas' new gem features 11 permanent exhibits, including a children's museum
and Universe Hall, while adults are invited to after-hours social-science programs, complete with hands-on experiments and cocktails.

Taste the Gourmet Fare

Big-name chefs love Big D. You'll love what they bring to the table, especially
Tim Byres, chef and co-owner of Smoke. He was named People's Best New Chef
for 2012 by Food & Wine Magazine.

Visit George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum

On the campus of Southern Methodist University, the state-of-the-art research
center and museum features archives and personal artifacts from the Bush administration.
