FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Marine Family,

Hope you all are having a good start to this New Year.


The dates are set for us meeting this summer in Las Vegas: 13th through 20th of August.


The Reunion Destination Committee has been combing Las Vegas to find the best spot for our Annual Reunion this year. We have found a good deal at the Orleans Hotel. Not yet final, but this looks like a great site for us.


Critical now to our planning is how many of you will attend? Which day trips would you enjoy?


Please answer the survey questions below. This will give us a start as we plan activities for the week.


If you have attended a past Reunion, you know it is a good time of reconnecting with friends and comrades. If you have never attended, I suggest you join us this year in Vegas, and find out why we do gather year after year.
