Winter Edition of the Semi-Annual Constitutional Convention
This year's festivities will again be held at the Roth Hotel and Convention Center, 1304 20th Street, West Des Moines. This year the event will run from Saturday, December 29th, through Tuesday, January 1st.
Activities kick off on Saturday afternoon at 3:00 pm. This will be our no-kids night. We ask that you be 18 or older to attend Saturday. The theme this year is a Toga Party. Please wear your favorite toga or other Grecian or Roman attire. Even though it's from farther East, we will be sampling various sakes and sake drinks that evening. If you have a favorite sake, or other ingredients that might make a great sake-tini, please bring them along. I expect there will also be various vodkas hanging around as well. We'll be showing episodes of the HBO Miniseries "Rome."
The whole family is invited to join us for the rest of the weekend, beginning
on Sunday. The rules remain pretty the same from previous years:
1. Please bring food and drink to share. I am looking for folks to host
specific meals -- none have been spoken for as of yet. Please contact
me directly if you'd like to host a meal.
2. The Roth Hotel is smoking and illicit drug free. Enough said.
3. While children are most welcome here, parents are responsible for their
actions. We don't provide babysitting services. In fact, unruly children
of all ages will be asked to leave.
4. The hot tub may or may not be available for the party. More details
will be available at the party.
5. We will again be using the garage to serving the food. The green refrigerator
in the basement will be available for food and drink to share.
6. Please enter and exit the hotel through the lower entrance. The front
door may be used for those needing assistance or to unload vast supplies
of goodies.
7. You are welcome to bring DVDs to show or games to play. The hosts reserve
the right to select which DVDs are played. A Soul Calibur II tournament
may be held.
Monday evening (New Year's Eve) will be our Overdresser's Evening. Please dress in your party finery.
The party wraps up when we ask everyone to go home on Tuesday. Please be considerate when we do.
If you have any questions, concerns, or would like to volunteer please contact me by email at les@trans-iowa.org or by phone at 224-7654.
