911 Remembrance update

[kantornado]

Because I am the Chairman for the Motorcycle event and a big fan of VENTURERIDER you all get first hand knowledge of what’s going on

and before this event hits the Nation wide Media blitz on May 15th and the hotel prices go up then get scarce. So if you’re going to make it to Las Vegas for this event book early. Some of the entertainment for this event

are Carrie Underwood and Kid Rock are slated to perform. Just too mention a couple. The party after the ride will be big Ladies and Gentlemen.

 

As Mentioned before September 11, 2011 marks the 10th year anniversary of the tragic events that fell upon our nation. To honor all that have been affected, I am proud to announce a spectacular memorial, "A Decade of Remembrance September 11, 2001-2011. A three day event that will link east coast to west coast via multiple media.

This is expected to be one of the largest events to ever occur in Las Vegas. Here are some of the events that are going to take place over the 3 day event. 9-9-11 opening ceremonies with car show in the historic down town Las Vegas. 9-10-11 Motorcycle run down the Las Vegas strip to Russell then to highway 15 back to Las Vegas Motor speedway for a really big party. A 9.11k race and 1 mile fun walk. There is also a 91.1 k bicycle ride and Horses for Heroes Family day.

On the 11th of September Heroes Processional then a Gala event on the evening of 9-11-2011 and not to mention all of the memorabilia that is being made such as coins, cups, t-shirts. pins just to mention a few. So I hope you will attend at least the west coasters the east coasters can hit NEW YORK....................Ron

And of the Millions of dollars this will likely generate, who benefits? How much will the Hotels in Vegas be donating and to what cause?? 100% of the proceeds (hopefully) of the memorabilia sales goes to whom?? If I missed that info in an earlier post please expand on this or provide a link.

 

There's a 70th Anniversary coming up on December 7, 2011. Anyone planning a big three day party for that one??

I note a little anger and hostility in your tone. I hope to answer your questions and concerns. I cannot answer about the 70th anniversary of December 7th but I do hope there will be a celebration and there should be.

 

The proceeds from t-shirt sales and all memorabilia go to Fueled by the Fallen, Wounded warrior project, Honor Guards from around the nation as well as a few other charities.

There is politics involved from both sides of the isle and if you have ever dealt with it, it can be a nightmare.

 

So you know all monies raised have to be given to these organizations.

After everyone is paid our books have to say zero funds.

 

So you are aware it is costing X amount to rent the race track for 2 days. LVMS is large enough to handle this type of volume. I.E. people, cars, motor homes, motorcycles ect.

 

It also costs X amount to get all the entertainment equipment set up at the various locations around Las Vegas. I can not give you the amounts because they did give a discount but I can tell you it was in the 7 figure range and not cheep.

 

There are porta potties, water stations, trash pickup, fire, ambulance, and police for crowd control

Highway patrol, park fees, street use fees, electrical fees, permits and use fees.

All have to be paid for and it’s not a tax write off FUN IS NOT CHEAP.

 

Anyone who has ever done a fund raiser knows it cost money and like a maintenance day it cost money and hotels will benefit we just hope they will give a discount to those that will come out.

 

The city does not DONATE anything the tax payers would blow a gasket. Next time your at a FREE anything and they have a porta=john who paid for it so everyone could P??

 

If there are questions or concerns please call. I wish everyone could come here because I think I am putting on one heck of FUN RUN to benefit these charities.

Do you have any idea how hard it was to get the Las Vegas strip blocked off to do this run?

Think about this for a moment. It is a major source of transportation for every casino on the strip. I am stopping them from doing business for several hours.

Think about how small the entrance fee is and the cost of a ticket to see Carrie Underwood and Kid Rock and all the other entertainment.

 

Hope I answered your concerns and if you have any others call me or PM me........Ron

P.S. I do hope this generates MILLIONS.
