OVERVIEW REGISTRATION AND RESERVATIONS
We are really excited about APIC members' tremendous early response to the forthcoming APIC National Convention to be held in Denver in late July and early August. We have every reason to believe that our Denver Convention will be one the best ever. We have a packed calendar of events from Tuesday, July 29th, through Saturday, August 2. We will have two live auctions, a silent auction and the walk-in Denver rules auctions (Seattle is not a good word to use in Denver – NFL fans understand this). The bourse will be open Friday evening and well intoSaturday afternoon to attract walk-ins. There will be Chalk and Awe, the World Series of Trivia, a Buffalo Meat Dinner, a Saturday Night Entertainment Extravaganza (featuring Dixey City Limits and other great entertainment) , Denver Mint Tours, High Tea at the Brown Palace Hotel, Square Dancing, Seminars, a Presentation by a renowned Colorado History Professor, Chapter Meetings, an Old Fashioned Bull Session and Much, Much More.
The tremendous response means that our room reservations to date are months ahead of projections. Table reservations are increasing a quite a clip as well. Therefore, if you have not as yet registered for the Convention or have not yet reserved your hotel room, we encourage you to do so now. We would not want you to miss the experience at the convention hotel, the Crowne Plaza Denver International Airport and the $99 per night rate. Also we want to be sure that all APIC members who want bourse tables get them.
Remember also that we will have free shuttles running most of the convention week that can get you to many of the museums, shopping, restaurants, sights etc. This should make it very family vacation friendly! Come early – stay late – you’ll be glad you did!
MEMBER AUCTION – CALL FOR ITEMS
We are lucky to have Wes Berger and Hal Ottaway heading up the Members Auction. They already have some great items consigned, but we can use many more high quality items. Please contact Wes (pinsforwes@yahoo.com) or Hal (hottaway@cox.net) if you have items to consign.
EXHIBITS – CALL FOR ITEMS
We are also fortunate to have Bob Banwart heading up the Exhibits Committee. The themes we have selected for this convention will include:
Golden Age Elections of 1896 - 1912
Denver National Conventions - 1908 & 2008
Bimetallism - a national frenzy
Rocky Mountain Politicians – Presidential and Local Candidates
(Quality displays outside our Denver Convention themes will be accepted on a case by case basis.)
If you have items to exhibit, please contact Bob ASAP (rbanwart1@hotmail.com) .
