Our 7th reunion promises to be our biggest and best reunion at a beautiful facility and at a great value.  Mark your calendars and refer to the enclosed registration form.  Take this opportunity to meet new and former shipmates once again, support your Association, and have a wonderful Las Vegas vacation as well.

You are encouraged to book reservations on-line at http://www.orleanscasino.com/groups  To receive your special daily group rate of $45.00 plus a nightly $12.99 resort fee plus tax, members will need to enter the assigned Reservation ID: A6UHC10 .  You may also register by telephone using this code as well.  Please register using this group code so that we may hold our room block and receive credit for the cost of the hospitality suite.

A note on the selection of the reunion site for 2016: 

Your management team has selected Las Vegas once again for our reunion.  Although the Bremerton/Seattle area was seriously considered, and considerable research & work was done by our shipmate, Nels Johnson, the air and ground travel logistics were impractical and was compounded by much higher room & meal costs.  We have had an excellent relationship with the Orleans Hotel in Las Vegas and feel that we were treated in an excellent manner in the past.  We are dealing with the same hotel team that was very supportive of our prior reunions at that hotel.  Our room cost is approximately 1/3 that of Seattle and meal cost is considerably less as well.  Given the proximity of Las Vegas to the Los Angeles area, and the availability and price of air transport made this a compelling choice.

The hotel is offering two extra days at our group rate for those who wish to book early; however, the reunion will not begin until check-in at the hospitality suite on Tuesday, October 18th.  For those who would like to make an extended vacation, the following may be of interest (road mileage and driving times):
