Cigar PEG, Inc.; Making a Difference

 

Cigar PEG, Inc. is a California Incorporated Non-Profit Public Charity, 501 (c)(3), that is dedicated to making a difference. We have had a track record of developing successful fundraising events, yearly since 1999. Why the funny name?

  • The Laura's Hope effort (through the National Hereditary Disease Foundation). The Cigar PEG the largest single contributor to Laura's Hope.   www.laurashope.com/ 

  • The Cardiac Arrhythmias Research & Education (C.A.R.E.) Foundation. Their work supports the research and education of the Long QT Syndrome. http://www.longqt.org/.

Cigar PEG AGM, February 6, 2010, Orlando, Florida

You are invited! The Cigar PEG, Inc. Annual General Meeting is mandated by the Cigar PEG's bylaws to be held during the winter in the city in which the coming summer annual NSA convention will be held. For 2010, the Cigar PEG AGM will be in Orlando.

In the past this was a closed planning meeting only for Cigar PEG staff. This year we have opened the meeting to "Cigar PEG Members & Supporters." The actual formal meeting will only be a couple hours on Saturday morning (2/6/10) to kick around ideas for the summer party. The rest of the weekend is for pool, play, and networking.

Come for the weekend:
Orlando World Center Marriott
8701 World Center Drive
Orlando, FL 32821

Book your room through Walleska Vazquez, Group Sales Coordinator
(walleska.vazquez@marriott) by email and get the special Cigar PEG rate of $139 per night for the weekend and even a couple days before or after.

I'll arrive on Thursday evening and leave Monday morning so you'll have access to the suite to shower & change if you want to leave late on Sunday--we'll even have a Super Bowl party for those that leave on Monday. I hope you can come to Orlando for for a relaxing and rewarding weekend.

Still Need More Convincing?

"I really want to personally thank you for what the Cigar PEG did for the members of NSA New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. The financial contributions made all the difference in the world to so many members who were hurting so badly.

Because the Cigar PEG contributed very quickly to NSA's relief efforts, 28 of our members each received $1,000 of immediate assistance in the first week after Hurricane Katrina, when they were living in far flung places and rapidly spending their savings without any new revenue coming in. In the days that followed many more NSA members gave so generously."  -Gerard Braud

The Cigar PEG is not one of NSA's official PEGs, just the most fun and philanthropic of any in NSA's history--official or unofficial.
