Let it ride at the next Convention
We just completed the
annual Mini-Convention at
Caesars in Atlantic City, which as
you know, means we have also
formally announced the location and dates for the annual
PBA “Main” Convention. If you
didn’t pick up your convention
packet at the registration table
PETER
in Atlantic City, then you will be
ANDREYEV glad to know that this year’s
Convention will be held at the
Red Rock Resort and Spa located in Las Vegas Sept.
18-25. The resort is located in the Red Rock Mountains overlooking the Las Vegas Strip.
As always, the resort will assign rooms on a firstcome first-served basis, so I highly recommend
getting your application in as soon as possible. I
can’t tell you how difficult planning for the Convention is when we get last minute applications.
Help us help you! Getting us your information
sooner-than-later is better so we can make proper
arrangements to make this event run as smoothly
as possible.
This year, we will be offering a land-only package, so if you have points or miles to use on a certain airline, you can book your flight on your own
and book just the rooms with us. Or, you have the
option to let us do everything for you. If you book
the entire trip through us, we handle your flights
and room arrangements for you.
Remember, whether you book the land-only
package or the entire trip with the PBA, there are
extra perks included with the price: First, you can
enjoy the shuttle buses from the resort to the Las
Vegas Strip. There are also various businesses that
will provide discounts for our members while
attending the Convention. You will receive tickets
to the Welcome Reception at the Red Rock Resort,
and when in Vegas, who couldn’t use a few hours
of free food and adult beverages? The Welcome
Reception is always a great time for seeing everyone and socializing; we would hate to see you miss
out on the fun!
And just one more reason to book directly with
the PBA: If you didn’t attend the convention in
2012 when we were last at the Red Rock resort, we
know you will love all it has to offer – everything
from the spa to gaming, shopping, restaurants and
bars, and even a movie theater with private
viewing booths. There’s definitely something for
everyone, and if you get bored on the property,
remember the Las Vegas Strip is just a shuttle ride
away!
The Annual Convention is usually attended by
each Local’s President and Delegate, however the
Convention is open to all PBA members and their
families. This is a great way for members who don’t
normally get to attend State PBA meetings to meet
and socialize with members from other Locals
who have the same interests in and out of work.
If you would like to attend or for more information, please call me or Debbie Perestuk at the New
Jersey State PBA office at 732-636-8860. d
