SFA 2018 National Convention Changes

Change 1

Because of rehab construction delays at our planned anchor hotel, we have moved the 2018 Convention to the Wyndham El Paso Airport Hotel and it's co-located partner, the Microtel Inn and Suites. This two hotel campus will provide over 350 rooms plus overview accommodations of an additional 100 rooms at the Marriott, one block away. Other hotels at the airport location will also adhere to the $98 per night contract rate.

The plusses in this change of hotels offers the closet location to the Airport, adjacent to the short term parking - right across the street as a matter of fact. The Wyndham El Paso Airport Hotel offers large meting area/room for the hospitality room; free breakfast; pool and water slide; and is 10 minutes to the downtown venues of the banquet, Green Berets Movie and Green Beret night at the El Paso Chihuahuas baseball.

Those who have already committed to the Paso Del Norte Hotel are being re-registered on a first come, first served basis at the new Hotel HQ. You will be contacted and registered by Debbie Lowrance (915) 778-4241. If you don't want to wait on Debbie, then feel free to her directly.

Change 2

The events previously scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday have mostly flip flopped - the new schedule is below. The Golf Outing remains unchanged for Wednesday.



Change 3

The annual picnic is now at the War Eagles Museum on Wednesday. The event will now be named the "Whole Enchilada Picnic" and will be organized by Robert Phillipson and our brothers from SFA Chapter 80 from nearby Las Cruces, NM. This takes the place of the previously scheduled "Mexican Fiesta Lunch" picnic originally scheduled for Friday.

  1. What does the $150 Convention fee cover? Everything? (e.g. golf, dinners, museum, hospitality room, etc). What occurs during "Briefing (TBD)" times? Since the picnic is now at the museum, is the cost of the "Whole Enchilada" $30 or $60. Website information is not very clear for those of us who have never attended one of these before. Thx!
