Hi Guys:
I just had a great meeting with the Wisconsin Veterans Museum folks concerning our event there on May 7. It is open to EVERYBODY and is FREE! Ken has just posted some unique, one of a kind Iron Brigade figures that we will be doing a silent auction of at the event - with most of the proceeds to go to the museum. There will be a talk by Ken, archive and library tours and talks by their curator and Mike Estell has even recruited members of his Iron Brigade unit to come!
As an added bonus Jeff Shaara will be speaking at the museum and adjacent hotel on the Thursday night, May 5, before our event. The museum is handling ticket sales for Shaara - $175 (private reception/book signing - includes evening talk as well) and $125 for evening talk which includes some heavy hors d'ouevres. They have tables for 10 people and I would really like to get a WB table together. If you are interested give us a ring - WB will gauge the interest and will be willing to offset some of the ticket cost for our members (another added plus to being a WB club member). If we get 8-10 folks then we'll let you know the price per ticket and book it.
For more about this entire event or to RSVP please call us at 1.888.771.5576 (ext 1) or go to our website or the Wisconsin Veterans site www.wvmfoundation.com.
See you there!
