The reception and silent auction will be held at the Westin. Also, we will have transportation shuttles available to/from that location only.

We will be handing out the shirts at the Hula Grill event so everyone has a chance to have the shirt on for the flight in the morning.

For dinner tonight a few of us are going to Proa in Agana, Guam. We can NT get a group reservation but a few of us plan on being there just before 6pm when they open. After dinner we can visit Chamorro Village, which is across the street.

Thanks for attending everyone! All attendees should have gotten an email with the login details for a Google Photos site to share pictures/videos with the group.
