Well the 2014 Palm Spring Winter Gathering is now history. Jim Kneup, Bill Calkins, Frank Brunetti, and myself made the trip to Palm Springs this year. There were over 82 members and family in attendance this year. This is the largest turnout we have had. We had members from New Mexico, Texas, Nevada, Arizona, and California who made the trip. We even had members from Edmonton, and British Columbia as well as the WCC Conference Chairman, Karl Hutchinson come. The best person to see was that Buster and Gaye Hummel made the trip from Yuma. Many of you may know Buster from his yearly Pig Roast each year at his house in Yuma. Buster was in a serious accident several years back and it has been a slow recovery but he is looking better every day. I have posted some photos from the trip in the “Photo” Gallery at the top of our page.
Hopefully you may make the trip next year.

Southwest Conference Winter Gathering
(A sanctioned Blue Knights Event)
The annual winter gathering for the Southwest Conference will take place January 24-26, 2014 in Palm Springs California. We are changing venues this year, which has the added bonus of a less expensive room rate than the previous location. This is your chance to see old friends and make new ones. There is no agenda for this event. We will sit around, tell lies, and enjoy the warmth of each other’s company.
There will be three scheduled meals (two dinners, one breakfast) at locations and times that will be announced when you arrive. There is a Carrows Restaurant on the property, as well as a steak house (currently closed, but management says it should be open by early January), plus other local eateries. And of course, there is plentiful shopping throughout the downtown area.
The hotel has blocked out 30 rooms for our use. They will hold these rooms for us until January 1st, at which point they will release them. Please call as soon as you can, tell them you are with the Blue Knights, and book your room. Rates may change after January 1st.
Dates: Friday, January 24th Saturday 25th, 2014
Check-in: 1500 (1300 if room is ready) Check-Out: 1200
