I wanted to get the initial post done so the ones far away can start to look at airline prices and hotel costs. Also, if this will help in scheduling vacation days in need be. As we move along, I will update this thread with the Guest and Sponsors. This year, the monies that we raise from the raffles will be donated to the local Warrior Transition Unit (WTU / SFAC). The WTU is the organization that takes care of wounded soldiers, sailors and airmen awaiting futher processing / discharge. Here are a couple of links to give you a better idea of what the WTU is:

I discussed it with Glynna and as it was last year, Schlesingers can accomodate roughly 135 guests between the store, bar and heated tent that will be erected for the herf. So the fun begins.......
