Ahoy All Saps!

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!

Here are Dave Greim & David Webb posing for scale next to the giant video globe. This hall will be the scene of our big banquet hosted by GS Rick Greene and the Way Out West Tent, featuring live music by Dean Mora & His Orchestra, and some special surprises!

Join us June 21-25, 2026!

Thanks to longtime Sap & Convention Planner, James Fauset for the photos!

Our meticulous research included lunch at Theresa's Italian Steakhouse, 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 the limited edition button-down convention shirts. Plus, you can donate or order shirts by emailing Dave at jolie116mm@aol.com

I hope to see all of you at our December 6 gathering. Films will include Big Business, Any Old Port, and Laurel & Hardy in This is Your Life. A full film list will come soon!

Also mark your calendar for our future meetings...
