Description:
Hello Polar Bears!
Once again, it's time for the Annual Georgia Polar Bear Run.
Christmas is on the last Saturday of 2010, so we're moving the event 2 weeks back for another Elvis's Birthday Polar Bear Run. Be sure to dress accordingly!
On January 8, 2011, we'll be traveling to the new National Infantry Museum at Fort Benning in Columbus, GA. The museum opened in the summer of 2009, and it's really impressive. Aside from the museum's exhibits, there's an rifle range simulator, just like our troops use in training, and an IMAX theater. The museum also features a full-service restaurant and bar, where we'll have lunch. Check out the museum's web site for more information:
http://www.nationalinfantrymuseum.com.
Entrance to museum is free, but donations are requested. There are charges for the rifle range and IMAX - discounts will be provided to Polar Bear participants.
As a bonus, we expect to be joined by a number of friends from Alabama. It should be quite a day.
We'll meet at the Tanger Outlet Mall in Locust Grove - that's exit 212 on I-75. Be on site by 9:00 AM so that we can get off to a good start. As always, we'll make sure that directions are provided for an easy trip.
If anyone wants to spend the night in Columbus for a Sunday drive back home, we are recommending 2 hotels in the area: the Marriott in the historic district of Columbus has a $99 advance-reservation rate. They're right in the heart of town, with access to restaurants, shopping, and the Riverwalk area. Also, the Hampton Inn in North Columbus (not the Airport Hampton), is recommended. The Hampton offers a free breakfast and a little lower rate than the Marriott, but with out the nearby attractions.
Please ask if you have any questions, and stay tuned for updates to the event. Feel free to forward the
attached flier and information to anyone that you think will be interested. Be sure to include as much information that you can in your club's newsletter. I look forward to seeing all of you on January 8!!
All the best,
George Forster
