Update on the Region X booth at States Party.

Well here is the final update as to what is happening with the Region X booth at the states party. With 14 days to go I have finally gotten a price for beer (6 pm. MDT on June 2)! They want $150.00 a keg so I think we will forget about the beer unless we can come up with a REAL GOOD BUY on can beer. We have so far - sodas (about 320 cans), peanuts (35 lbs), popcorn (20 lbs), bags for both the peanuts and popcorn, and Hot dog buns (320). The California JCI Senate is working on getting the hot dogs. We have an 18 Qt steamer and a large crock pot to keep the hot dogs warm. I will get plates, food handler gloves, mustard and relish. We have lots of little trinkets to give out and some nice prizes for out contest. We have a bunch of decorations (balloons, pennants, banners, etc). The California Senate has arranged for two bats from a professional team and have lined up a couple of uniforms to wear. I have my baseball uniform all set and ready to go! 

Here’s a brake down on what I have spent so far.
$60.00 - soda (paid for by the Utah Senate)
$38.38 - popcorn and bags
$44.63 - peanuts and bags
$21.76 - Hotdog Buns
$25.00 - decorations

I will be leaving Salt Lake City Thursday morning June 16 with plans to be at the hotel on Saturday morning June 18. This will give me time to scope out the area for our booth and get any last minute supplies that we might need. We will pre package the peanuts Saturday night. We will be able to start setting up the booth at 2 pm on Sunday June 19. We can use all the help we can get to set up and will need 2 or 3 people from each state Senate organization to man the booth. Hopefully they will be in baseball uniforms and hopefully we will have some reserves to switch off so no one needs to be there the entire time. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS PLEASE CALL ME AT 801-968-5605 OR E-MAIL ME AT jci26704@comcast.net 

Thanks for you help and I look forward to seeing you in New York.

Yours in Senate Friendship;

Region X Booth at the Mini States Party at National Convention

 The theme for the state's party at this years’ US JCI Senate Annual Meeting in Grand Island, New York is "Friends in a New York State of Mind". Because New York is the birth place of baseball, and because, two of the professional baseball teams in Region X came from New York, and because, the folks that I talked to in San Antonio thought it was a good idea we will be doing a Baseball theme for our Region X booth for the states party at the Annual Meeting. Sports casters always talk about playing in the "Friendly Confines" - so we will welcome folks to the "Friendly Confines" of Region X. 

Carrying out our ballpark theme we hope to be serving ballpark type fair such as popcorn, peanuts, hotdogs, soda and beer. We already have the soda and peanuts lined up and are working on some of the others. 

As for decorations and costumes we are planning in some type of baseball uniform and a stadium back ground with pendants and bunting, but this will be finalized in Las Vegas at our Region X Meeting. If you have any questions, comments, or ideas please e-mail me or bring them with you to the Region X Meeting. Hope to see you there.

Yours in the Senate,
Art Esenberg
Region X's State's Party Chairman
