I think it's high time that I come up and see my NYC brothers again. I'll have to see what I can plan for this.
BTW, any recommendations on hotel and airport?

I would recommend flying into Stewart Airport (SWF) in Newburgh. It's the closest airport to the HERF (only about 10 minutes away). As for hotels, I'm sure Charlie (stogieman) can help you out on that one.

Thanks, will look into flights this weekend and hotels by the ariport.
Charlie,
I'm thinking we should implement a door charge of 20 bucks for the herf. Too many people who come for the goodies and bolt once the raffle is over. Besides, it'd be a great way to guarantee even more money for the charity. I mean, every year we get a great bag of cigars and accessories and a big percentage chance of winning in the door raffle, so let's do this!!!
What say you and what say others?

Sam, it would be great if you could come up to NY and attend the Herf. Here is a couple of hotels right down from the airport and I know that there are a lot more:

I know that there are roughly 10 of them with-in a 2 mile radius of the airport. Also, Schlesinger's is no more than 2 miles from the Airport as well. I'll contact Steve (Toje) and find out which hotel he's staying along with Anthony (tony-ny) as they will most likely stay overnight in the area. I hope this helps and we see you in February...... :thumbs:

I'm ok with it only if I can snuggle with Anthony's tupperdor before and after the HERF :whistling:
Round trip for $279....
Door charge....bad idea.
If I'm not mistaken, the place is open to the public at 4pm.
We'd have to get the bags out before that time...and not to late comers.
Tickets to get a bag...better idea.
Payment sent to you, 'PER ticket', made payable to the charity.
This way the charity get's the funds and the ticket gets the door bag.
This also removes the money part(except the raffle) and you'd only have to get the tickets.
Just a thought.
I like Gary's idea. But one way or the other, it would be great to increase the donation to charity by $20 a head. IMHO.

The goodie bag you recieve upon entering is well worth 20 bucks and would make the donation to this worthwhile charity that much better.
