Harrah's is also offering a $109.00 Single/double room rate ($124.61 after tax) to any guest wishing to come in on Friday or Saturday prior to the event, and $89.00 (101.75 after tax) for the Thursday before or Wednesday after the event.  

We also will have a $100.00 per person, one time “registration fee” payable to “6918 Dawg Flt. Reunion , as we did in Vegas, to cover hospitality room rental, banquet room rental,  audio and visual equipment rental, banquet meal, open bar expense, reunion expense such as mailings, name tags and so on.  The larger our attendance is, the larger this fund is, obviously.  Pinky is our resident treasurer, and a damn fine one, I might add.  Last reunion he made the deposits on his personal credit card, so the sooner the better for us to get our “registration” check to him!

        Able, Baker and Charlie Flights, of course, you can reserve in Dawg Flight’s name for the negotiated rates and room “block”.  Just use the above information when you do. We not only invite ALL 6918th members to attend the reunion, we encourage you all to come.  The long range plans are to eventually have a 6918th Reunion rather than a Dawg Flight reunion “with guests”.  Our banquet program is geared to Dawgs now, but with the audio and visual program that Dave Bethard graciously puts together for us for every gathering, is generic enough that you will probably want a copy of it.  Ask Carl Aegler and Terry Durei (Charlie Flt) who were at the 2007 Vegas reunion.  I do not think they felt like outsiders at all.  We are all 6918th brothers, so come on down to St. Louis in September!  You truly have to be there to experience the rush when one of your friends from forty years ago enters the room for the first time.

OKAY! As reunion organizers, we have chosen the place and we have chosen the time. At everything else, we have guessed.  I guess we need how many sleeping rooms?  I guess we need what size hospitality room?   I guess we need what size banquet room?  I guess we need how many meals?  I guess we can afford how many hours of open bar?  I guess….. if we were worry warts we would go nuts.  Help us out.  For now, please respond soon.  Are you going to attend?  Yes or No!  If “yes,” how many sleeping rooms?  How many banquet meals?  If “no,” let us know too.  It cuts down on our guess factor.  If “maybe,” we will count you as a “yes,” then alter the count with the hotel in August and September if necessary.  There will be more questions as we get closer, but for now, these answers are critical.  When I put it on paper, it looks pretty simple.  Yes, how many or no.  Let us know soon! Bill (Pinky) is handling the money and the hotel, but the rest of us are in constant communication, so let any of us know and Bill will get the message.

 

Thanks
