Aloha All,
Plans are underway for a huge assault on Las Vegas (aka Sin City) either in the summer or fall of 2010 (either Aug, Sept or Oct, 2 years from now). It is being called Blue Invasion Vegas 2010. It is open to all former and current HPD personnel AND their families. It will be huge, just from the responses we are already getting. It has begun to take on a life of its own...ALREADY.
Ideally, we will be planning it for a Wednesday thru Sunday or Monday. I am aware that most of them are the 5 night/4 day type (or something like that)...but, am also aware there is the 7 day package too. I have already begun shopping various packages with different travel agencies for airfares, hotels, ground transportation and meals. Will try to get the best, for the gang. Also, shopping for a huge room to stage our main event at. The Mardi Gras Ballroom at the Orleans looks pretty good at this point, but will shop more. Awards can be given out then too. We will also schedule a great program for that Sat evening...boogie too?
Other hotels in the running would be the Main Station, California and Freemont et al.
We hope to have an outing of golf or two (we will need someone very experienced to head that area). Anyone qualified and interested, please contact me. Thanx. I understand that our bike riders take trips to the mainland. If they are interested in coinciding their 2010 trek to the mainland at the same time, that would be SUPER. I know of a former HPD Brother up there, who rides. Perhaps he and/others, will help coordinate that activity, if the bike gig becomes a reality. Anyone interested, please contact me so we can logisticize all of this too.
I will be checking into other activities that may prove interesting for other travelling members, as a whole, or as smaller groups. OPTIONS for the majority...and the minority. We will be checking into anything and everything, to make this as pleasant and successful for the all. Anyone wanting to divert from some or all of the optional activities to be set up, are most welcome. BUT, it would be neat if everyone enjoyed most of what can be set up...together. Shopping stints, bowling, slot or card mini tournaments, whatevers. Just will need AT LEAST one person responsible for EACH activity. You may contact me at Kamehameha669@hotmail.com...asap please. Thanx.
We have to plan, this far ahead. It'll be great and we all will have a wonderful time. Our Brethren are passing on year after year...and it be neat for us to try to get together as often as we can. We are family. We have a unique bond.
Viable ideas which can benefit the masses? PLMK...Aloha, lary.
