Icon6 *T*H*E*****2017***T*R*F***WIS-CON**thread***

What can I say. WOW! That is the first word that comes to my mind today.

This project started just three years ago with a personal commitment to make unique gatherings for my virtual family. In a very short period of time, the original 'Las Vegas GTG' grew in attendance, and also started regional gatherings.

During the last three years, I have had the honor of meeting more TRFers, many of which I had spoken and/or written to; but I was missing the opportunity to sit down and share stories, watch pictures, wine, meals and cigars. To all of you, which are making this dream come true; THANK YOU!

Putting a GTG like this is not an easy feat; it takes time and resources; but in the end, being able to share this passion with you makes it all worth it.

To our TRF members that will not be able to join us during WIS CON '17 (a recent poll selected this as the name for Vegas 2017); please follow this thread closely, as all TRFers attending will share their stories and pictures here.

To our TRFers attending...thank you once again for your time and interest; I am looking forward to meeting you!

Safe travels!

This thread will be a case where what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas (well, maybe some parts will! ). Looking forward to sharing the festivities of WIS CON 2017 in this thread.

And thank you again, G, for all your hard work, commitment, creativity, and passion in preparing for this event.

Thanks again Gerardo. I cannot even imagine how much work you did to pull this off. You even got the weather to cooperate. Suppose to be high 80's and into the 90's by Sunday!!!

I have a special cigar put aside for you.

First, thank you, G for putting this together. I know it took a lot of work.

Thinking about what I need to bring.
Am I missing anything?
