Reunion Update-05.10.2016

Hello Wingers,

As I stated in the blog, reunion information as available would be sent out.

Well the reunion will be held on October 14th, 15th and 16th in Granbury, Texas.

The La Quinta Inn & Suites is my hotel of choice:

Tell the front desk clerk that you want the Clinton-Sherman Wings Room Rate.
Room Rate - $85.88 - (including all taxes) per night - 2 nights x $85.88 = $171.76T
Two handicapped rooms have been reserved at the same rates.

Note* You must have your reservation made by October 1st. If you do not have your reservation made by October 1st, you will not get the Clinton - Sherman rate and your room rate will be at least $110.00 (plus taxes) for each night.

Special Note* The hotel manager has agreed to give us the meeting room for free, for Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday morning, if we have at least 10 reservations. If we don't have at least 10 reservations, the meeting room will cost $75.00 a day. The hotel also provides a very nice breakfast.

Friday -

The Friday night Meet & Greet will either be at the newly built Ci Ci's Pizza Restaurant or in the hotel meeting room. Pizza and drinks with be provided by the association.

Saturday -

We will meet in the hotel lobby at 8:30 for breakfast, after which we can car pool to downtown Granbury. There are a lot of shops, historic places and other things to do. You will be able to buy your lunch at one of the many restaurants downtown.

Special note:

At approximately 1:30, we will all meet at the newly renovated Opera House on the south side of the square to see a Broadway-quality performance of a play called Oliver, as in Oliver Twist. Mary and I have been season ticket holders for the last two years and have yet to see a poor performance. We think that you will really enjoy this live production.

The cost of the tickets for this play is $20.00 a person. This is a reduced group rate. If you plan on attending this play, I must have your money by October 1st at the latest. If I don't have your money in hand by that date, I will have to release your seats. If you decide to attend the play after the ticket cut-off date, you may or may not be able to get a seat. Plus your ticket will be at the regular rate.

After the play, we will return to the hotel to freshen up, before going to the local American Legion for a ribeye steak dinner with all the fixings. The cost of this dinner with be absorbed by the association. We will need to leave the hotel at 5pm, as dinner will be served at 5:30.

Following our dinner, we will return to the hotel meeting room for our business meeting and auction.

Sunday -

At approximately 8 a/m we will meet for breakfast and say our good byes.
