All club and individual tickets to be picked up at the NAFCSC office in
the New Frontier Hotel Las Vegas.
Posted by Jacky Meehan on Monday, October 1st, 2002
The convention dates are Sunday June 9th till Sunday June 16th, 2002.
Hopefully this will answer some frequently asked questions.
- The dinner dance is a collar and tie affair.
- All dinner dance tickets will be handed out in Vegas.
- There will be buses for transport to and from the golf on the Wednesday morning.
- The present day players have still to be named.
The committee asks that every club remind their the members attending that they are representing Celtic Football Club and the NAFCSC while in Las Vegas and that there are plenty of CELTIC songs to sing, we do not want to hear any songs with offensive language (I am sure everyone knows the ones we mean).
Once we are there lets show the people of Las Vegas that the Celtic Bhoys and Ghirls know how to enjoy themselves without offending others.
I would like to remind every club that to vote at the A.G.M. the clubs must have next years membership paid, so if you have not already please make sure that you are paid up to date in time for the meetings in Vegas.

the raffle tickets is $10 US or equivalent.

Although it seems far off just now we need each club to let its members know these details, as a lot of work has to be done to make next years convention as successful as those in the past. Each club will contacted over the next month to find out the initial response from the membership.
