The board looked at & thought about the following in choosing what we felt was the best one for our members. The following agenda was used to make our choice. There were many things to think about in coming to our choice. These are the things that your board thought about.

  1. Hospitality room cost
  2. Room rate aka how much per night per guest
  3. If the hotel has a airport shuttle to & from airport to the hotel
  4. Parking fee, how per day if you drive to the hotel
  5. How near is our beloved ship located to the hotel
  6. Set up fee for the hospitality room
  7. Cut off date to get the rates quoted in the proposals
  8. What dates & time of the year, that we will have the reunion

The thought of the many different things that come into play when planning a reunion was considered, discussed and thought about. The board feels that now is not the time to release the hotel name or the dates of the reunion until much later in the year. There is still a lot of planning to be worked out. Your board is already working on the reunion plans. Rest assured we haven’t forgotten about our members.
