Dear Ed, Paulette Stuart Board Members As you know Pueblo is hosting the Congressional Medal of Honor Conventisn Chris Bolt The highlight of the Convention is the 1000 seat Cattle September l2t'-161. Nathan Cape Baron's Gala/Patriot Award Dinner at the Convention Center, to be held on the evening of September 16ft. In addition to all the Medal of Honor recipients who Jeff Chostner attend the convention, there will also be attending four honored Awardees, three Ron Diodosio of whom have very strong ties to Colorado and Pueblo. I have attached a flyer Don Gray that features information about these awardees who are Ken Salazar, Jeff Ray LeMasters Shaara, Dana Perino and Bill Hybl. Billy Martin We would very much like to have members of City Council attend and thought Gary Micheli perhaps the City of Pueblo might like to sponsor a table of eight at the Dinner Roy Miltner which is Since you are a volunteer for the Convention I thought you $3,000. Adolph'Rudy' Padula would be the perfect Councilperson to propose the sponsorship. The dinner is a Michael Sumida major segment of our efforts to cover the costs of the Convention. Darrin Tangeman Thanks, so much Ed, for been a "Host" volunteer for the Convention, I hope it is Honorary Board Members for you. We also very much appreciate that the a very memorable experience Ruth Sitter city has waived fees at Walking Stick Golf Course for those recipients who wish Mary Ann Murphy to have a golf outing during their stay in Pueblo. Faith Dix If you have any questions regarding purchase of table(s) at the Patriot Award Nadene Verna or about the Convention don't hesitate to give me a call at 544-2435.
