A friendly reminder as folks are starting to make plans for the 2017 Sports Collectors Convention in Chicago this year. The Net54baseball Dinner (*actually only hors d'oeuvres) will be on Friday 7/28/17, at the Embassy Suites which is connected to the Convention Center. It will start at 630pm and end when we run the last party'ers out around 1130pm-1200am. You should eat a bite before coming over as there will only be some appetizers to soak up the alcohol (or soda/water). They will be heavy appetizers but it won't be a dinner. The dinner part of the affair just never seemed to be that great so that is why we don't do that anymore. The open bar for soda and alcohol usually cures any ills. There is 1 confirmed speaker and more to be announced....probably
. All members in good standing are invited and the shindig is free but there will be a non-mandatory $5 donation of which 100% will go to a yet to be named animal rescue in the North Texas area. That is one of my favorite parts of the dinner actually....There will be an RSVP thread approximately 3 weeks beforehand at which time everyone who wants to attend should sign up. The Dinners have been a lot of fun in the past and I am sure this one will be too. Thanks again to Heritage Auctions for being our Platinum sponsor again. They have always been a strong supporter of Net54baseball and it's appreciated. And a unique Rose Postcard....
