Lone Star NCVA Gathering 29 Sep – 01 Oct 2022 South Padre Island, Texas Good afternoon to one and all. I promise not to turn this email into the great American novel; however, I do have a menu for Saturday night’s dinner and it would be a good idea if ya’ scroll all the way to the bottom of this email to open the attachment and see what they've got. Our hosts’ this year are Roger and Paula Polston and they’ve done an excellent job in hosting this event. I called last week to make my hotel reservations and when I gave him the dates he said “Ah, you’re here for the Lone Star NCVA meeting” and I replied, “So I’m not the first person you’ve spoken to about this gathering?” and he said “Nope, I’ve spoken to quite a few already”. This tells me we’re gonna have a great time this year! OK, now for a little “bidness”. As I’ve stated before we’ve got 20 rooms blocked under Lone Star Chapter NCVA and here’s the hotel information: Comfort Suites South Padre Island 912 Padre Blvd, South Padre Island, Texas 78597 Phone: (956) 772-9020 Room Rate: $75 per night The distance from our hotel to Louie’s Backyard – Bayside Dining and Entertainment is a staggering 0.9 mile (4 minute) drive. After reading over the menu this place has, if anybody walks out of there hungry it’s your own fault. They’ve got something for everybody! New Subject: From what few people who responded regarding the color for this year’s t-shirts, it’s going to be “red”. Now, as for the price, I have no clue. I strongly suspect the price will be higher than those in the past, but then again, tell me something that hasn’t gone up in price over the past two years. Once I get more details regarding the t-shirts, I’ll shot gun out another email to everyone. Until that time I’ll just say…. Vaya con Dios!!!!
