be admitted on the bus or into the venue without your credentials.

venue.
BUSING: Busing will begin at 5:45pm- we will have five buses at each hotel that will go on a loop to Churchill. It will take each bus about 30 minutes to go to Churchill and come back. There will be staff person from the busing company at each loading area that will be able to give members an ETA on returning buses.

Members can purchase tickets to participate in either activity at the Supreme Council table. 

KENTUCKY DERBY MUSUEM: The Kentucky Derby Museum will not have any food and beverage but is an amazing experience and I highly recommend everyone take the time to experience The Greatest Race. The gift shop will be available during our event. Outside food and beverage is prohibited.

RAFFLES: The three raffle winners will be announced live on the rooftop at 8:00 p.m. There is not enough room on the rooftop for everyone, so Supreme Council staff will also place signs at each location within Churchill Downs noting the winning ticket numbers.

Everyone who purchases a raffle ticket will receive a card with this information on it.
