AUGUST 2009 NEWSLETTER
Welcome again, 6918th
Security Squadron members, to the August 2009 Newsletter. I do not know how time passes so quickly, but
it does, and here it is again time for our next reunion. Most of the plans are complete except for a few
details that we will talk about now.
The business that needs to be
addressed within the next two weeks:
If you are attending and have not yet
reserved your room, do it now.
If you are attending and have not yet
registered with Bill, do it now.
If you are attending and have special
needs, let us or the hotel know now.
If you are attending, email to sfreymuth@charter.net the following for name tags:
Name.
Wife or attending friends’
name.
Years at 6918th,
Japan. i.e.1966-1968
Nickname if you want it on
nametag.
MOS if you want it on
nametag i.e. 292 or 202 or 203
Picture of you from 6918th
era (2007 attendees, we have yours).
Please send these ASAP as
Linda has begun nametag work.
If you are not attending, you will be
missed. Your ears will ring because you
will be lovingly talked about. However,
if you have not already done it, let us know that you not going to be there for
sure.
If you are not attending and would like
a note from you to be read at the banquet program, send it to Dave or Stan really
quick so we can include it the program planning.
If you change your mind at the last
minute, I’m sure we can always make room for one more.
If you care to support the reunion effort,
see the website for reunion memorabilia items that are for sale. 100% of the profits go to the reunion
effort. Many expenses are fixed
regardless of how many members attend.
If not attending, we will be glad to ship them to you. If you are attending and wish to purchase now
and pick up at the reunion, you save the shipping cost. Or, of course, you can purchase and pick up
at the reunion. Whichever way you prefer
to do it, HELP your organization and place an order!
