Tampa Green Beret Association / Chapter LX has entered the final phase of our fundraising to complete our Team House / Civic Center. We have achieved about 85% of our $2.1 million fundraising goal and we are hoping to break ground this summer. As a result, we are pushing hard to get our fundraising over the finish line. Here’s how you can help. Make a direct donation, buy some tickets for our current raffle, support our upcoming Poker Run, and spread the word to all your friends and acquaintances about our efforts.
Thanks for your support, and let’s get this done!
DOL,
Don Cox

4) SFACON 2022 (Please check with listed POC’s for latest updates as your local chapter may not have them)
Register on-line or by mail for SFACON 2022 in Colorado Springs. Chapter 4-24 has the https://www.
specialforcesassociation.org/ sfacon/ website up and running. On this website you can click the “register” button to pay by credit card on-line, or you can download and print a .PDF version to fill out by hand and mail in with a check. Another option is to go to the website of our event management partner Armed Forces Reunions, Inc (AFRI) at www.afr-reg.com/sfacon2022 and register directly into their system. You can also call AFRI at 757-625-6401 to speak with a representative about registration.
We must inform you of one change: After scrubbing budget estimates from every angle, looking for every cost savings, and incorporating the generous donations of our SFACON sponsors, we must raise the price of premier registration by 12%. At the end of the day this is due to inflation across the economy—and especially in the areas of bus transportation and large venue food & beverage service. The price increase is from $199 to $225. The 2022 Team in Colorado Springs is pursuing every opportunity to provide a high-quality convention at a reasonable price. You will enjoy Colorado Springs; it is a nationally recognized destination city and there are many boutique shops and specialty restaurants within short walking distance of all three hotels. The https://www.
specialforcesassociation.org/ sfacon/ website and the Facebook page “SFACON 2022 Special Forces Association Convention” have the schedule of events, event descriptions, and hotel links available.
