24th ANNUAL ANNIVERSARY/CHRISTMAS PARTY

[Bob Broberg SPF667 460BB]

AZ COBRAS' ANNIVERSARY AND CHRISTMAS PARTY WILL BE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30 THIS YEAR.
Ron Evans has called and asked if he could book our Annual AZ Cobras Anniversary/Christmas Party for Saturday, November 30th this year. His facility, The Vault at Scottsdale, https://www.vaultofscottsdale.com/ has booked paying events every Friday and Saturday in December. Since Ron and Pam don’t charge us anything for its use, I told him fine. We scheduled our event once before in November and everything worked out. Ron is simply using his facility’s as it was intended. Ron apologized for not booking us firmly for December 7th, but I understand. We are only 1 day before December and 2 days after Thanksgiving. Maybe we can have leftover turkey tacos?
Everything else should remain the same plus, perhaps a bit warmer and less chance of rain? Let's be positive.
Please mark your calendars and let's make this the biggest event yet.

Hi Everyone
Just checking in to see if we want to change it up for food from Tacos to BBQ. I am good with either but I found a great local BBQ restaurant that does catering. Group Vote, Majority wins. Bob can you tally?

[Bob Broberg SPF667 460BB]

What a great magnanimous gesture on your part. I will ask around and get back to you. I for one was not fond of the tacos and would LOVE a BBQ sandwich. I'll post on FB and let you know results.

Here is post on FB:
Got a great offer/suggestion from Ron Evans for our Anniversary/Christmas Party. Ron has provided us with a Taco Truck for years and now has a new idea but would like you all to respond for or against. This is the request from Ron:

My opinion: I for one would love a BBQ instead of tacos. How about you. I'll keep tabs.

So far of 19 (plus mine) votes cast we have 18 FOR BBQ, NONE for Tacos and 2 that are fine for either.
Sounds conclusive Ron. Thank You

Bringing our biggest event of the year to the top. You're going to love the menu. Bring chair, dessert (or in my case donuts), beverage, and gift for exchange.

Like last year, we will be asking for small donations too.

Brief Anniversary Party Report: 18 cobras showed up and 43 people. BBQ was great, especially the Brisket. Lots of fun with gift exchange. 4 Marines were super, chose 4 Best of Show Winners and each got a ride to remember. Filled 5 Toys for Tots Boxes. Lots of desserts and snacks. Great to see all those long-time smiling faces. Photos and videos to come. Thanks for all that attended. Maybe next year on a December Sunday instead of Thanksgiving weekend. We have an award for John Evans and Scott Siggins who couldn't make it.
Planning a BIG 25th Anniversary with T-Shirts to buy and to honor all who are still around after 25 years.
