Dear cherished CAC members and reunion attendees,

Due to the COVID-19 protocol and our concern for everyone’s health, we will be postponing the 55th Cauliflower Alley Club reunion scheduled for April 27–29.

We are currently working with the Gold Coast Hotel & Casino for new dates for the 55th in the fall, most likely mid-September. However, we will keep you abreast as soon as we get the exact dates nailed down.

Please contact the Gold Coast Hotel & Casino for a 100% refund of your deposit (room reservations 888-402-6278). If you so desire to still go to Vegas during the April dates, the Gold Coast will honor your discounted room rates; however, please remember that this will not be an official gathering by the CAC.

As far as reunion tickets purchased, you have 3 options:

Get a refund by contacting Dean Silverstone

Apply your reunion ticket to the new dates, most likely in mid-September

Donate your ticket purchase to the benevolent fund and get a tax receipt

As far as flights go, the airlines are being very flexible due to the COVID-19 virus.

We apologize for the inconvenience and hope that this pandemic runs its course sooner than later. We also hope and pray that neither you or your families have contacted this serious virus.

Thank you very much for your understanding and we greatly appreciate your support of the CAC and the many people from the wrestling industry in which your generosity has helped so much, during their most dire financial challenges.

Healthy wishes from all of our CAC volunteers.
