San Diego update
Time is ticking and 2026 will be here shortly, so I sincerely hope that everyone, everywhere attends something by registering and reserving their hotel rooms now! Many folks have already, but for those who haven’t, please feel free to share this email with everyone!
Dave Greim still has a limited supply of “special edition” sonsfestsd2026 yellow shirts. Please contact him for sizes and availability. They make great Christmas gifts! Please keep in mind that this is NOT the official shirt for our convention. Those will be available at the convention with the same logo in a different color. Once the specially made yellow shirts are gone, they’re gone! Thanks to Rick for making this happen!
If there are any tents, private individuals or entities who would like to donate, sponsor something (no matter how big or small), or volunteer at sonsfestsd2026, please reach out to Dave Greim ASAP!

Convention Chairman Dave Greim and the Sonsfest2026 planning team recently toured our venue - the Legacy Hotel in Mission Valley, San Diego.
We can't wait to see this 500 seat theatre filled with Sons of the Desert on June 23, 2026. A great view from every seat! And live organ accompaniment by Russ Peck!
In addition to convention attendees, our big movie night is open to the public for only $20. Invite your friends!
And here is Dave Greim posing for scale next to the giant video globe. This hall will be the scene of our big banquet featuring live music by Dean Mora & His Orchestra, and some special surprises!
Join us June 21-25, 2026!

Thanks to longtime Sap James Fauset for the photos!
Our meticulous research included lunch at Theresa's, the hotel restaurant. Everyone loved the spaghetti and meatballs. Theresa's also serves breakfast and dinner, plus there is a full bar next door.
We still need donations and volunteers to support the Sons of the Desert International Convention in San Diego, June 21-25, 2026. See Convention Chairman Dave Greim at our December 6 meeting to buy convention shirts. Plus, you can donate or order shirts by emailing Dave at jolie116mm@aol.com.
Yours in Laughter,
