TGT 2009 will officially kick off on Sunday Feb. 22^nd. Plan to be there by 2pm at the latest.  For those of you who can make it, we are planning on being there on Saturday the 21^st.

As The Honored Mate this year I would like to start what I hope will become a tradition for years to come. Actually, Bob really started it last year with giving back to Mexico. So, here it is... This year as part of the built-in cost of the trip, $50.00 from each TGT member is going to go to a charity of choice by the honored mate. I know this is not a lot of cash, but $350-$500 to someone or some group is a big chunk. This year's donation will be made in Honor of our fallen mate, Randy Lunsford. I am up for suggestions as to where we should donate.

NOW.................................The Details.............................

Grab your Skis, Knuckle boards, warm clothes and a set off golf clubs boyz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To help keep cost down this year we will be cooking breakfast/dinners at the cabin for all but one night. Lunch will be on the slopes or golf course. Two of the nights you will see Mr. Ellenwood of 500MPH Productions showcasing his recent film debuts, one night will be a TGT poker tourney at the cabin and one night is a group crap tourney at a casino (more info given at the cabin about this event, an Opening Ceremony (New Rules, Yes!!!)  for the New Honored mate and an Awards/Closing Ceremony Friday night.

TGT 2009 Award:

Well, here is the skinny, I liked Bob's trophy idea and wanted to keep the spirit alive. So, every morning we will be having a lottery drawing for your ski partner for the day. Everyone needs a digital camera for proof. Each team will earn points that each partner will carry over individually into the next day with their new partner.
