We will be staying at the Crossroads Inn (Base Hotel), located at 3018 Russell Road. I recommend that you use the back gate off I-95 or US Route 11 this will be Russell Road. The hotel is 2 1/2 miles from the back gate. We have forty (40) rooms blocked for our use and if you intend to stay at the host hotel I recommend that you make your reservations as soon as possible. Otherwise when the block of rooms is filled you will have to find quarters off base, as these are all the rooms that I could get blocked! To make your reservations you must call 1-800-965-9511. The price of our rooms will be $59.00 per night, with no tax added and you must state that you are with the A/1/7 Marine Corps Associ-ation - Korea 1950 - 1953 - using RESERVATION ID 810!

in this newsletter as I am trying to make arrangements through the Marine Corps at no cost to us. This is providing enough of you will let me know if you wish a tour! (See the section for this on our registration form.)
On Thursday the 20th we will have our annual meeting and our banquet that evening. The regular schedule of events will be published in the April newsletter once everything has been nailed down to our satisfaction. I have added a new section to our reunion registration form this time asking for volunteers to assist me in the administration of our reunion. One or two people alone cannot run a reunion as it takes many people to ensure that our reunion is successful. Therefore, when submitting your application please indicate if you are willing to assist and what position would you to prefer to do. CHECK IT OUT!
