2012 FLORIDA REUNION

The 2012 Florida reunion will be held June 1st thru 3rd, 2012.  Please mark your calendars. 

As you know, we were supposed to go on a gambling cruise on the Thursday night of the 2011 reunion on a new ship that was supposed to sail for the 1st time a week before our reunion.  Because it was still waiting for Coast Guard clearance, which was delayed, the ship didn’t sail till the week after our reunion. All monies collected for this Dinner Cruise were returned.  Because of this inconvenience to us, the cruise line assured me that if we return in 2012, they will extend a free cruise which includes round trip transportation, boarding and a buffet dinner to all the people who were signed up and on the manifest for the last June 9th, 2011 sailing. Anyone else who ,wishes to attend the dinner/cruise the cost will be $21.00 which will include the above plus receiving $10.00 for slot machine play. There will be entertainment and free drinks to our group while gambling. We will make reservations for our Group for the cruise on Thursday, May 31st. 

This is not the Memorial Day Weekend.  We plan to start taking reservations around the 2nd week of November.  If you are planning to attend, I suggest you make your reservations early, as I expect it to sell out faster than this year’s reunion.
