Convention Chair

We hope you are planning to come on down to Texas this August. We had an extra year to work on making this an exciting convention. For those coming really early, the Texas State Convention is Thursday, Aug. 26, through Saturday, Aug. 28.

A bowling tournament is scheduled for noon on Aug. 28 and is open to all the early birds. It costs $30, which includes a meal; contact me if you want to join in the fun.We also will have a Texas hospitality suite somewhere in the hotel—you just have to find it. Hint:A SPAC donation will get you the directions.

A warning if you are driving to the convention. If you are going the speed limit or a little over, stay out of the left lane. The left lane is for those who think they are better than everyone else or just in a hurry. If traveling at night, watch out for feral hogs on the highway. Down here,
they get really big.

We have two airports: DFW and Love Field. The best is DFW; there is a shuttle to/from the hotel. If you are flying into Love Field, let me know your flight and arrival time. If there are not too many, we will try and get a shuttle van or a company to offer us a discount. My email is texasbob49 (at) gmail.com.

We are so ready to get things started! It has been five years since we were awarded the convention. If you have questions about the Gaylord’s COVID-19 procedures, go to https://gaylordhotelsclean.marriott.com/. The hotel also has an app you can bring up on your devices that shows where you are located in the hotel.

You even can order a meal at any restaurant in the hotel and have it ready during the convention breaks by using the app. Check out the app at https://mobile-app.marriott.com /en-us?_branch_match_id=778364201240727261.

Again, I’m expectin’ to see y’all at the convention!
