Raphael and I are getting together in the next couple of days and we'll be doing some planning for The Gathering.

We talked today about the possibility of getting group rates at a hotel if I book the dinner there. That info will be available after we book the venue, of course.

We'll also be discussing advertising, getting on some local TV shows, newspaper articles, etc.

I'm hoping to get some celebrities and firefighters to model the kilts in the fashion show, along with a few of you guys. (I gotta see Ham on the runway!) Then I'll auction them off with all proceeds going to charity.

I will be posting a page on my site as soon as I get some firm dates. It will have a calendar of events and info for each function.
