Greeting all you San Diego Tailhookers and/or Friends of Naval Aviation:
Hope everyone is having a wonderful San Diego summer season. As promised, our next two events are going to be something really special in support of some wonderful causes:
This is your monthly reminder/Warning Order for what is going to be a very special event on Wednesday, 29 July, at “The Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery” (link), also known as “the best looking sports pub you’ve ever seen”. The San Diego Intruder Association (link) is hosting this special San Diego Tailhook Ready Room event as a fund raiser for the Intruder Association Scholarship Fund administered by the Tailhook Organization. You will enjoy the finest pub grub food, Tilted Kilt's Ale, wine, Tailhook videos, participation in the event raffles that include Padre and Tailhook memorabilia (Padre memorabilia donated by the Padres and Tilted Kilt management), USS Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum tickets, camaraderie with your fellow Tailhookers and Tilted Kilt clientele, and pictures with the Tilted Kilt hostesses. As usual, the mission of 'Attack' and the singular role of the aircraft carrier to put attack aviation within strike distance of the enemy will be greatly debated between the fighter and attack squadron mates.
Rules of Engagement: "Charlie time" will be 1700 (5:00 PM). The evening's charge is $30 per person which includes all food, Tilted Kilt ale, and wine and a scholarship fund contribution. No bar fines will be charged for pictures with the Tilted Kilt hostesses. J
Dress casual and don't hesitate to breakout and wear your beloved flight suit or Tailhook attire. As always, please feel free to bring spouses, significant others, friends, whatever. The more the merrier!
If you have Tailhook aviation videos (DVD format) you'd like to share with your squadron mates, let Clyde Cain ([email protected]) know and bring them to the event.
Directions: “The Tilted Kilt” is located at 310 10th Ave at the intersection of 10th Avenue and “K” Street immediately north of Petco Park (map) . There is ample covered public parking in the area, and the Padres are on the road that week, so the Padre PETCO Park Lot and curbside parking should be no problem either.
It will be a great event for a good cause...see you at the Kilt!
But Wait! There’s More!
Advance Planning Notice for August Tailhook Ready Room Event: For August, we’re again doing something very special in support of our larger organization. The Ready Room event will be part of THE FIRST ANNUAL Tailhook Educational Foundation “NIGHT AT THE PADRES FUND RAISER”. Join the Foundation for an exciting Major League Baseball game when the San Diego Padres take on the visiting Saint Louis Cardinals as the Padres honor The Tailhook Educational Foundation during the Pre-Game Ceremony. This will be a PERFECT EVENT for you to bring children, business associates, friends and neighbors, your local youth sports team, Scouts, etc. You can bring your personal group to a great evening at a great price and help the Tailhook Educational Foundation at the same time!
