Big News!

For those of you who have attended the Gun Blogger Rendezvous' over the last eight years, you know just how much fun it is. Each year the number of events and activities have increased, and we continue to raise money for Soldier's Angels and Project Valour-IT, a division of Soldier's Angels.

Over the last two years it has become apparent to me that for the Rendezvous to grow to the next level of awesomeness, some changes were in order. In short, the primary limiting factor was me! I just did not have the time and experience in event management and promotion to properly do the job. So, what to do?

I had several conversations with the powers-that-be at Soldier's angels, and we have come to an agreement. I am donating the entire Gun Blogger Rendezvous, and everything that entails, including the name, to Soldier's Angels. Soldier's Angels will be taking the primary leadership role, but I will be staying on in whatever capacity they need to assist in the management changeover. Will they change the name to the Soldier's Angels Gun Blogger Rendezvous, or will it remain as the Gun Blogger Rendezvous? Don't know yet, but either works for me!

Here's some of what has already been decided:

The location, The Silver Legacy in Reno, will stay the same.

The event will be on the first weekend after Labor Day in September, the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th.

We will follow the same basic format as previous years, and the daily activities will probably be about the same.

Stay tuned for more, and the Official Announcement from Soldier's Angels!
