Setting Sights on San Diego - A Show of Hands, Please!

 

  New Years Greetings! Here's a follow through from last month's newsletter.

The next Sterett Reunion is scheduled for the weekend of September 26, 2009 in San Diego California. The Sterett Association Board teleconferenced last weekend and made progress  towards finalizing the reunion plans. At this point, we need to get an idea of how many will be attending. Please follow the instructions below so we can get a quick tally, within the next week or so, of the number intending to be there. This will help us plan the event and understand what services we may need to provide.
 
We'll fill you in on our POD and some of the nearby attractions and travel info in the near future.  Shopping, golf, Tour of the Midway and other opportunities will be on the list of things close to the Hotel.

We are keeping the Sterett DDG 104 Crew appraised of our Reunion and providing the Ship is in port, hope to see some of the Crew attend.  With your help now, we can get a clearer picture so "advanced shore party" volunteers and (Former DLG 31 CO) H.E. Reichert can proceed with nailing down the details. More specifics will be communicated in upcoming newsletters and on our website, as they become available.

 

Info - H.E. Reichert  has arranged a room rate of $135 per night based on a 2 night stay for the weekend of September 26th at the Town & Country Hotel. Here is the link for a quick look at where we are planning the Reunion.  http://www.towncountry.com/   We will provide you with contact info and special reservation group discount codes in the near future.

 

Standby for more information. Look forward to a mighty fine muster in America's "Finest City" this Sepember!

 

Regards,
Wayne McBrian

President, USS Sterett Association
