Give 'Em Hell, Harry

Planning for the May 7 "Give 'Em Hell, Harry" fund-raiser dinner has begun, with invitations to some of the VIP speakers and a search for the right location.

Today, I inspected the WinnaVegas Casino food and catering operation. WinnaVegas is located just 3 miles off I-29 near Sloan, Iowa and is opperated by the Winnebago Tribe. It is a small, friendly casino with a nearby motel that could meet our needs for a great Saturday night event. Their bingo hall is comfortable and quiet, and could easily handle a meal for anything from a smaller group up to 400 persons. We can have a set menu, or have a hot buffet set up in the room. There is a large stage area for speakers, and there will be a small dance floor. They are even going to have a small orchestra, The Board of Directors, available for our event and for later in the evening for the public. We can have a cash bar as well.

It appears to me to be an attractive location for our fundraiser that would appeal to many across the district. We can get a good deal on the meals, and the WinnaVegas Inn can offer us some very affordable rates.

What do you think? Would this be a nice weekend you would attend? Leave a comment and let us hear from you.
