Ya'll,

 

After much flailing around, the location and dates of the 2009 reunion have /*FINALLY*/ been determined! /*(Yay!)*/ Here are the specifics of it, which will have to hold you until you get the newsletter, hopefully later this month:

 

Dates: _September 4 (arrival) to 8 (Departure) -- four nights

 

Hotel:_ Country Inn & Suites by Carlson, 1857 Gettysburg Village Drive, Gettysburg, PA 17325

 

Reservations _number: (717) 337-9518 Ask for a room in the 157th Infantry Block.

 

Room rates_: $99 + tax/night for a single room with two queen beds; $109 + tax/night for a small suite (king bed and fold-out couch)

 

Airport:_ The best airport is in Harrisburg, PA, which is 31 miles from the hotel. Due to this distance, the Association will provide FREE transportation to and from the airport (more details in the newsletter). The hotel is located just outside Gettysburg (less than 2 miles), but the Association will have a couple of vans available for local transportation as needed. Immediately adjacent to the hotel is a large outlet mall (about 40 stores), and in the parking lot is a TGIF Restaurant.

 

We will have the usual hospitality room, which might be the location of the banquet.

 

There will be tours of the battlefield, the visitors' center and probably the Eisenhower Farm.

 

All necessary fees and charges (less your hotel rooms, which you need to arrange yourselves) such as the registration fee, the banquet and tours will be collected upon arrival.

 

OK?

 

OK. Now get to work, get organized, get reserved, and let others know about this.

 

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND!!!!!
