Is this event after a convention activity? What are the parameters for the evening?<br /> - Besides this being a worthy charity, what is the purpose behind the PPA holding this event in tandem with the AGA at the RNC? I'm not critizing, just curious. In general, the Republicans have not exactly been our allies (excluding Ron Paul of course). Is this an effort to gain positive press with the party?<br /> - Will any of the Minnesota political figures be attending? The e-mail from Pappas states that the Nevada delagation and state delegates will be there. Any Minnesota connections?<br /> - Could someone explain the WareHouse party? I am not from the cities, so I am not aware of the building this event is being held, or what the draw of the warehouse party is. What does being a VIP get you?<br /> - Is there a target group we are soliciting funds from? For instance, should we be contacting local Military organizations (VFW, Legion's...etc), and have businesses sponsor veterans into the tournament? </p> <p>I'm glad to see the PPA taking action. I just have a lot of questions about intent that I think a business would want the answers to before willingly committing to a donation. </p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Beeker </p>
