OK, it is time to mark your calendars and register for the 2017 Reunion. Perry has completed work on the registration and the schedule of events pages – there may be some minor changes to the schedule as September approaches, but this will give you a good idea what is planned. We have several additional activities planned to help us celebrate our 50th Anniversary. The first is a day-trip to Ft. Leonard Wood. A bus will pick us up at the Stone Castle in the morning, we will take in some activities at Ft Leonard Wood during the day, and return to the Stone Castle in the late afternoon. Wives are welcome. We have also added some entertainment for both Friday and Saturday nights. We are still working on Friday’s entertainment, but on Saturday our guest speaker at the Farewell Dinner will be CSM Robert Miles, 62nd Engineer Battalion, Ft. Hood, Texas.

So, before you forget, please go the “2017 Reunion” tab and register. The registration fee is only $20 per person, which includes the trip to Ft. Leonard Wood, the welcome reception, the farewell dinner and the entertainment. If you have any questions, please feel free to give Perry or I a call.

I have made our reservations at the Stone Castle, the rate is still $65 per night

Well I learned one this week, the Board 0ver rules ever thing and the members don't have any say so on anything.
Patsy is doing great.

Happy Thanksgiving Brothers!

Here's a little info about our 2016 Mini-Reunions.

This was the first year of our decision to have Mini Reunions. The goal was to allow those members in more distant locations the ability to reunite with their Brothers. All things considered, I think they went very well. Several members stepped up to organize and make these happen. Thanks for that go to many but especially to Freddie Guth, Bob Spencer, Dennie Pendergrass, John Van Zelf, David Goodrow, and Bruce Daniels. Well done guys!

Here are the numbers:

1) Fort Hood, TX ......45 in attendance
2) VN Wall, DC ........15 in attendance
3) Boise, ID ..............21 in attendance
4) Lexington, KY ......53 in attendance

That's a total of 134 of our members and their guests that were reunited this year at Mini's. Compared to our 2015 reunion that had 120 in attendance one could argue they indeed were very successful.

:toast:

Wonder what happened about using the website for stuff like the posts concerning the reunion and something fishy???!!!!

Please let me share my thoughts, and the Board’s, about our 589th reunions. Every one of you probably has an opinion on where we should go, what we should do, and when we should do it. That’s pretty obvious considering the results of our recent survey. By the way, you did not waste your time responding to it. We heard you loud and clear and because of your input, we will be considering another location other than Branson for holding our 589th Association’s 10th anniversary reunion in 2019.

Our By-Laws state that the Board and only the Board has the responsibility for setting the reunion location and date. The Board must consider all of our members not just those that are present at a reunion. All of the Board members met recently, either in person or by phone and after much discussion unanimously agreed to hold our 2017 reunion in Branson. There were many reasons that led to our decision including our past commitment to the Stone Castle and our 589th memorabilia stored there, the logistics of organizing a new location, cost, etc. It was not an easy decision and we knew that it would make some of you happy and others not so much. My hope is that we can put our personal agendas aside and fully support our 2017 reunion.
