If you are unable to send a check at this time, we would appreciate if you'd RSVP if you haven't already done so. This will allow for us to print off name tags, and it will help in determining how many taco's and potato ole's we'll need. And the open bar will consist of beer and wine. To RSVP, please send an email to SouthDakotaSociety@gmail.com. We would like to thank Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLC, and The Bockorny Group for helping in sponsoring this event.

To avoid crowds at the door, we are urging as many folks as possible to mail their checks for $20 prior to the event. This will help expedite the process at the door, and it will ensure a faster line for all those craving Taco John's. We would appreciate receiving your checks no later than Monday, April 28th. Please address checks to The SD State Society, and mail it to: 428 3rd ST, NE Apt 201, Washington DC 20002.
The first party of the newly reorganized South Dakota State Society of Washington, DC was a huge success. About 175 people including Capitol Hill staffers and students showed up at the American Legion Hall on Capitol Hill on Jan. 24. "It was a terrific first event," reported organizer Brad Mollet. Who knew there were that many South Dakota expatriates living in the Washington, DC region? A great time was had by all. The society has no web site as yet but to find out how to join and come to the next event, send an email to Brad at SouthDakotaSociety@gmail.com.
