DOOR PRIZE DRAWINGS!
Again this year, we will have several door prize drawings during dinner. The grand prize will be the Mike Machat litho, "Home For The Holidays," the same one we gave away last year. However, this time it comes beautifully matted and framed. We will pay for shipping if you win and are not driving to the reunion.
For Early Arrivals ...
We have secured 20 tickets for the San Diego Padres -
Chicago Cubs baseball game
on September 30. The game will be played at downtown PETCO Park starting at 3:30 p.m. Our block of seats is sold out, however, for anyone wanting to attend, tickets should be available on game day.
After the game!
We have made reservations for dinner following the game, at the Gaslamp Strip Club, a "grill-your-own" steak restaurant located at 340 Fifth Avenue, in San Diego's historic Gaslamp district and just a short walk from the ballpark. It is described as "a friendly, casual alternative to expensive, stuffy steakhouses." For more info on this eatery, click here.
Those not attending the game are invited to join us! (We will take a headcount at the hotel).
