Ivy Dragoon Mini Reunion
July 14 -17, 2014

Many Ivy Dragoons over the last few years have voiced an
interest in returning to Las Vegas. Since this is a Mini
Reunion year, a small group has taken the opportunity to
plan a gathering there this summer. Initial planning is
small, but can grow based on the interest shown. Binion's
Gambling Hall will hold a private Hold-Em Poker Tournament
for us, and is able to handle anywhere from 1 table up to 20
tables. That's the good news. The not so good news is
because the properties want commitments, guaranties, and
signed contracts, we will not have a meeting room, or a
Buffet dinner. However, I am staying in a small suite at the
Four Queens. That way we have a place to sit, and a fridge
to keep the beer cold in. Downtown has plenty of places to
eat, so no problems there. Stan Loewenkamp and Bill
Newcomb are both Ivy Dragoons and live in Las Vegas. Each is
prepared to help in any way they can to make this a great
mini reunion.
Plans Are Detailed Below.
