WALLY BIRD AT RENO – 2016

ELDORADO HOTEL – RENO NEVADA

Hotel check in, Tues. Sept. 27 – check out Thurs. Sept 29

Mark your calendars and let’s really have a superior turnout. I have paid the registration fee to the hotel so now all we need are Western people to meet the guarantee. We want to include anyone that has had a history with Western. Pilots, Flight Attendants, baggage handlers, office personnel, mechanics, passenger agents and ticket counter personnel. All are invited. Dick Deeds, due to a severe back pain asked if I would help him out. I committed to three years. Thank you Dick for all that you have done to preserve “Wally.”

I have asked Gary Guilliat to be our Master of Ceremonies and Mel Younker to handle the golf festivities. Without any hesitation they said “YES.” Once again, Al Ehringer has invited us to his “Little Waldorf Saloon.” He is offering his open bar and hors d’oeuvres from 3:00 PM until 6:00 PM Tuesday September 27. The Saloon is located at 1661 N. Virginia Street, Reno, just 1.5 miles from the Eldorado Hotel. Al, we thank you for your great generosity.

The guest room rates this year will be: Standard Room, $54, Deluxe Room $65 and Luxury Room $79. Add on to those rates a 13.5% room tax, a $3 City tax and a $17 nightly resort fee. The resort fee includes: internet access, local and toll free phone calls, a room safe, coffee, Gym and complimentary Shuttle to and from the Reno airport, along with a complimentary valet or self-parking. Make sure and reference WALLYBIRDS REUNION 2016 as well as WALLY16 to insure the proper room rate when you make your reservation and when checking into the hotel. The hotel’s reservation number is 800-648-5966. The cutoff date for making room reservations is midnight Friday September 2^nd. You may cancel your reservation up to 24 hrs. prior to check in with no penalty. For those of you that would like to check in early on Monday the 26^th and check out Friday the 30^th the Eldorado has a few rooms available at the same rates listed above.

The Banquet: September 28^th is in the NOVI Lounge. The no-host bar opens at 4:30 PM. Dinner will begin at 6:00 PM and our evening program will begin at 7:00 PM. The Lounge will be open for us until 9:00 PM. The menu will offer three entrees, Roasted Rosemary Chicken, Grilled Salmon and Roast Prime Rib of Beef. They will be accompanied with a Fresh Garden Salad, Baked Potato, Fresh Seasonal Vegetables, Rolls and for dessert, Tiramisu. Each table will also have two bottles of Feffari Carano wine, a white and a red, courtesy of the Eldorado Hotel. The cost is $42.00 per person which includes tax and all gratuities.

Golf with Mel: We are planning to play at the Reno Lakeridge Golf Course on Wednesday Sept. 28. Tee times will be in the AM. Exact times and costs will be announced around September 1. Contact Mel at flboymel@sbcglobal.net or 775-378-6662 for pairing preferences.

Program Hosted by Gary: Gary has two DVD’s about Western to share. If anyone has a special request to share or would like to do a presentation contact Gary at gary@sbbmail.com or 530-272-8678.

Raffle for the “Large Players Suite” This year instead of an auction to help maintain our WallyBird@Reno bank account there will be a raffle for a special room in one of Eldorado’s Towers. The hotel sales department has offered a large Players Suite as the raffle prize. This is a 750 sq. ft. room with a jetted tub located in the Skyline Tower, valued at $280 for a two night stay. The winner will also be welcomed upon registration by “Congratulations, you have won the Large Players Suite.” This will include two bottles of Feffari Carano Wine, grapes, nuts, and cheeses.  There is No Limit on the number of raffle chances that you can buy.

Remember, your checks for $42 per meal and $10 for each Raffle Chance must be received by Jerry no later than September 22. This date is a hotel requirement so that your raffle chance can be included in the drawing. The drawing will be held by Jerry, Gary and Mel. Upon checking out the “winner” will be billed for that party’s previously reserved room.

We look forward to seeing all of you on Sept 27, 28 and 29.

Jerry, Gary, Mel

History: This is the 8^th year we have had a Dunwoody Delta Golden Wings Christmas party. This is the fourth year we have been at the Ravinia Crown Plaza in Dunwoody. We had a great turn out last year with over 200 folks and hope to have an even bigger group of friends this year.

If you are in the Atlanta local area or if you are coming from out of town and would like to stay for a night or so, we have a really good hotel rate of $89 at the Ravinia Crowne Plaza. This rate is good for three days before the event and three days after the event. Note: This room rate gives you a $5 coupon for each person for the buffet breakfast for each day you stay.

Having a nice rate on the rooms has given us the opportunity to open the invitation to all of the Delta Golden Wings membership. Caution on the rooms: we do not have a guarantee on the number of rooms, so if you are planning on coming and would like to have a room, go ahead and reserve it. We had about 57 rooms last year used by Delta Golden Wings folks.

If you are doing some Christmas shopping, Perimeter Mall is right across the street from the hotel. MARTA (train from Dunwoody, Atlanta and the Airport) is just two blocks away and the hotel has free service to Perimeter Mall and the MARTA Dunwoody station.

MARTA will quickly and cheaply get you to and from the airport and downtown Atlanta. Uber is active in the Dunwoody area.

Atlanta has sporting events, shopping, World of Coca-Cola, Georgia Aquarium (world’s largest), the new College Football Hall of Fame and many other places of interest.

We look forward to renewing old Delta friendships!

We hope to see you!
