MCB, QUANTICO, VA.
We will muster 17 - 20 September 2007 for our 12th Annual Reunion. There will be early registration on the 16th and checking out on the 21st. We will be staying at the Crossroads Inn (Base Hotel), located on Russell Road. I recommend that you use the back gate off I-95 or US Route 11, as this is Russell Road. The hotel is 2 1/2 miles from the back gate. A system has been worked out with my contact to allow us to board the base.
All the rooms that we had blocked for our reunion have been taken EXCEPT ONE ROOM! Call me if someone wishes to have it.
If you still wish to join us for our reunion room reservations will have to be made off base. I am sorry I can't accommodate anyone else.

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS There will be an early muster on the Sunday the 16th for those who want to report early for our
12th Annual Reunion. This is a free day with no activities scheduled.
Registration will be held on the Monday the 17th. This is also a free day to tour the base, sight seeing, or just gathering in the hospitality room and chat!
There will be a tour to the Marine Corps Museum on Tuesday the 18th with a buffet dinner that evening. This should be an "All Day Event" if you intend to see everything in the museum. They have a snack bar and of course "Tun Tavern" if one should desire a cool one?
An agreement to furnish a bus and driver to take us to the Museum and back to the hotel has been worked out. I am not sure what this charge will be but hopefully the registration fees will help defray this expense? An hourly rate has been established for the bus and driver.
On Wednesday the 19th a tour of the memorials in Washington, DC is scheduled. I didn't include the price of the transportation on the registration form until I could work out the transportation arrange-ments. The Commanding Officer put me in contact with the person in charge of visitations on base and we have an agreement that the base will provide transportation to and from DC, but there will be a fee for the bus and driver. This fee will be collected at the time you register at the reunion, which will be $10.00 per person for those who have indicated they wish to go.

I want everyone to understand that it isn't easy getting to the Memo-rials in the AM due to all the traffic heading into DC and surrounding areas. It will probably take at least one hour just getting there.
On Thursday the 20th we will have our annual meeting in the AM and our banquet that evening. The rest of the day is free to do what you would like to do. The banquet will be held at the Officer's Club with cocktail hour from 6 - 7 PM with our banquet following the cocktail hour. This will be a cash bar!
At this reunion we won't be having an auction because I am trying to ensure that the registration fees will cover our costs. Auctions take to much time and some of our ladies have to work most of the time when they could be meeting with the other ladies or just visiting with the Marines. Shopping at the Post Exchange would probably be better alternative than selling tickets and keeping up with the money. We do appreciate the ladies assisting us at our reunions.
