    Default Wounded Warrior Event - Quad State Herf X August 8th

    It's finally time to get this year's Quad State Herf - Wounded Warrior fund raiser up and going. The date will be Saturday, August 8th from 1000 (10am) until dusk (roughly 2000/8pm) and the location is West Point's Recreational Area (Round Pond). It will be a day of relaxing, enjoying great BBQ (prepared by Sean Keever and his crew - Muzzle Brake BBQ aka: Big Guns BBQ) and a number of outdoor events, i.e., volleyball, horse shoes, fishing, swimming, paddle boating and much more.

    The cost to attend this year's Quad State Herf is $75.00 per person (first time we raised the cost in 10 years). The benefit of the event again this year will be "Wings for Warriors" http://wingsforwarriors.org/ as well as the “Hudson Valley Honor Flight” http://hvhonorflight.com/.

    As always, each guest will receive a very nice "goodie bag" and there will be plenty of stuff being raffled off at the event.

    Below is a map of the area as well as Round Pond's website:

    Bill, you know that you are always welcome. The only thing is that you simply won't get a "goodie bag", everything else is available to enjoy........

    Now that we are less than 2 weeks away, I have a few administrative notes. As we all know, we've had some incredible raffle items in past years and this year is no different. The majority of funds raised for the "Cause" is threw the raffles and I wanted to break down the ticket prices:

    1 ticket - $5

    5 tickets - $20

    an arm length - $50

    full wing span - $100

    Also, t-shirts are $10 and we'll have plenty on hand - small through 4X.

    The front office / store at Round Pond no longer has their ATM / cash machine as they had it removed. Ensure you come prepared with cash in hand as we know Ian & Ronnie will be selling raffle tickets all day. Lastly, if you'd like to purchase raffle tickets and cannot attend, we can arrange for that as well, just let me know. That is all for now, enjoy your Sunday everyone........

    Well, today is when it all comes together in preparation for tomorrow's big event. There have been a number of folks that have helped out to make this happen and I will point them out tomorrow. The weather is looking to be great again according to NOAA: Saturday - Mostly sunny, with a high near 81. North wind 6 to 8 mph. http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php…
    Safe travels everyone and I'll see you all in the morning.......

    Well, it's finally here, "Herf Day"! I can hardly believe that we have been doing this now for 10 years. It started off with about 30 of us just wanting to get together and smoke some cigars and have a good time. It's evolved into something more than word can explain. We take care of our wounded warriors that keep the good ole' US of A free so we can live our lives comfortably. Safe travels everyone and see you soon........
