WORTH NOTING…

The above package from Mid-Atlantic Receptive Services has been accepted by the Committee. Our goal is to get as great a participation as possible for our Night Rustic Reunion. There is a lot of value for your money in this tour, given this venue, which was chosen by the group at our last reunion. If cash is tight, you might put it on a low interest credit card and pay for it a little at a time, but try not to miss this one. We’re sure you will agree that our group has been very fortunate to have lost only two dear “comrades in arms” since the War. That won’t keep up forever…. Night Fighters, the time is now to attend!!!!!!!!

Initially from our survey, we had a tenative “yes” from 43 people (22 rooms) prior to the procurement of bonafide rates for the Reunion. We now hope that all of you can still attend and that even more will join us. As Registrations come in to MARS, those names will be provided to the Committee and we will keep a list posted here so all can see who will be in D.C. with Slapper & Company!

ANYTIME!!!
