Official RSVP thread (by 7/19) for the 11th Net54baseball Dinner - National 2012-

[Leon]

This is the Official RSVP thread for the 11th Net54baseball Dinner at the National Convention, for 2012, in Baltimore. It will be on Friday evening, Aug. 3rd, of the event. All members, family and friends are invited. All attendees must be RSVP’d. No one will be permitted without an RSVP. The event will be at the Hyatt that is connected (or next to) the National venue itself. It will be from 6:30pm till 12ish am.....with speakers starting at 7:30pm. Please remember the event is rated PG-13, for language (think lots of alcohol but a mature crowd otherwise ).... We have always had a ton of fun. The only requirement is that each attendee will be required to wear a paper nametag at the event with your first and last name (tags will be on site). No exceptions and I do enforce that rule. It helps me remember who folks are and has been very positively received over the years. You can RSVP for food and/or drinks. If you know you will be coming over late then please only RSVP for drinks. There is a chance that we will just have appetizers the whole night, I haven’t made that final decision yet, but there will be food and an open bar (with soft drinks and bottled water) for free, through the whole event. I need a first and last name, of at least the board member, when RSVP’ing. You can also email me an RSVP to leonl@flash.net I will acknowledge each person that does it that way and if I don’t, then it means you are NOT RSVP’d yet. I expect 125-175 folks as usual. Thanks to our advertisers for helping to make it free and a special thanks to Heritage Auctions for being the Platinum Sponsor again. I look forward to seeing everyone there. Happy Collecting everyone!!

Everyone in this thread is confirmed. ONLY if you sent an email or PM will you get a confirmation. It's all about me making sure I got your message, and if it's in this thread, I got it. For the record there are as many folks that emailed as posted in this thread. There is almost no doubt this will be the largest turnout ever.

[Jcfowler6]

Leon,

Will you have t-shirts at the National? Or are those all gone?

[egbeachley]

I missed the cutoff and was finally able to make plans to get to Baltimore. If there any cancellations I would like to attend - just myself.

Thanks.

Thanks.

If there are cancellations I will let folks know. I am going by a members number of posts for the openings that become available. In other words, if you have 5 posts and someone else has 300, and there becomes an opening, the person that posts more on this board gets the spot. I will have the RSVP list at the National and will be checking names to make sure everyone that responded and got an RSVP has a spot. I am looking forward to it. best regards

[Collect Equity]

I'm bumping this on Leon's behalf so that everyone can be reminded of the time location of the dinner.

[christopher.herman]

Just wanted to say thanks to Leon for his hospitality tonight at the Net54 event. My wife tolerated the baseball card conversations for waaaay longer than I expected (thanks to the free booze). Looking forward to the National tomorrow. Thanks again.
Christopher.

[Scott Garner]

Leon,
I would also like to say thanks to Leon for organizing the net54 dinner.

I had a great time hanging with everyone. It's great getting a chance to pair up a face with a name. Even though I'm more of a memoribilia guy, I had an excellent time talking with several of the card specialists.

I definately had a great time talking with you all. Good collecting to all!

Scott Garner

[tribefan]

Also would like to thank Leon for hosting a great evening, and to the sponsors and speakers as well.

[kcohen]

Leon - I forgot to RSVP. Is it too late to get a seat?

Thanks, Buddy. Best part of the National and the speakers were excellent.
