  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

We are excited to announce the CFRHN Inaugural Herf and hope that many will attend! I will definitely be attending and I strongly urge and welcome every lover of the leaf from Colorado and neighboring states, along the Front Range, and around the country to come and join us. Wives, husbands, and significant others of all types are most welcome, as are friends. The hotel is very nice for those wanting to stay the night, and the food is top notch. If you think you might be in Colorado, or think a vacation is in order, please register and join us (or post here until the registration link is active).

The details will be filled in shortly, but the hotel has a top notch cigar bar, and the herf will have adjoining conference rooms available for dinner and herfing. Fellowship, food, prizes, bombs, raffles and lots of good cigars. The golf tournament details will be worked out shortly as well, but I imagine we'll be teeing off in the morning of May 3rd, finishing up in plenty of time for dinner at the hotel (for those that want dinner). There is, of course, lots of hiking and mountain activities, fishing and plenty to do in and around Boulder.

We hope to meet you there!

So the dinner is $31 and the herf is $5?
I'm really hoping to make it, but I'll have to check the schedule and everything. It's the weekend before finals, so I've gotta see which days of the week my tests are on.

Here's my best shot at it so far:

Herf: Yes plus Terry & Jake
Dinner: Yes plus Terry
Hotel Room: No
Golf: Yes

I'm a little confused (as usual) on how we pay the herf fee before 4/26. I clicked the link and it didn't say who to send a check to.

The herf registration hasn't been completed yet by Fred but it should be up soon. It should allow us to sign up for herf, dinner and golf and say where to send the money. This is trying to get a head count so we can let Mike at the Harvest House know, as well as how many we might expect for the golf tourny. The rooms, I think, one just calls the harvest house and say your with the May 3 Herf to get the discount.

Dinner is $31, and will be between the golf tourney and the official herf. It should include a premium NC cigar on the by the plate. The $5 (or $10 after 4/26) will go towards the raffles and bombs, along with any donations from the B&Ms.

Dale has generously agreed to speak to the guests on all things cigars, DWSC, and tell funny stories about Bob (j/k).

Here are the early totals. If I made any mistakes, let me know. Anybody out there who hasn't let us know what they want to do for an extremely fun day with fellow lovers of the leaf, just let us know. Everyone, please fill out the registration form at http://www.cfrhn.com/CS/Inaugural%20Herf/Herf.pdf and get Fred your prepayment. Those of us who have talked to friends who are interested, let's help them get registered and paid up. We will need a minimum of 12 people for the golf tournament, though it would be excellent if we could get closer to 20 participants.

Change of rules for the golf tournament: If you need to have specific people on your team in order to play together, make sure they're all registered and let me know everyone's name. I'll do my best to accommodate.

Hi Folks. We are coming to the deadline to sign up for the golf tournament!! We are looking for a few more participants as we need at least 12 (3 foursomes). This will be a great lead-in to the dinner and herf, a day of fun, and all skill levels are welcome! $52 includes the golf, range-balls and cart, along with possible prizes.

I need firm commitments and a promise to send payments this weekend or early this week.

Here is the list of people who have paid.

Bump!!

The Golf Tournament is a GO!!

It took some last minute scrambling but we have 3 full foursomes. We can take additional golfers easily, so just let me know if you would like to join in! I'll set the teams later this week.

I really wish I could make this herf! Unfortunately I'll be working and studying the entire weekend. Gotta save the money for Paris.

I talked to Clay at Palma Cigars today (http://www.palmacigars.com). He is going to roll for us from 8 - 10 pm at the herf this Saturday, May 3rd. He'll probably roll about 25 cigars in that time. The cigar filler and binder are pre-rolled and aged a few weeks. People can stop by to request their choice of wrapper, Nicaraguan, Brazillian, Conn, etc. Based on the sample I purchased from him, his construction is outstanding.

For donating his time, he normally takes cash donations for his 'Cigars to the Troops' organization (http://www.cttt.org/). He also normally does not send cigars that are not rolled by him to the troops. He agreed to accept cigar donations of whatever people bring in order to bring the organization some exposure. We will be collecting cigars for the CFRHN troop effort as well as for his organization. I'm sure he'd gladly accept any monetary donations as well. I am hoping we get a good amount of donations for both troop support efforts.

The herf was outstanding! Terry & I had a great time. It was good to meet a few more local BOTL. Kudos to all involved in setting it up. The venue was perfect, the food was excellent and the comapny was the best!

Many thanks to Clay for rolling for us, and for what he does for the troops.
