2010 USS Wisconsin BB-64
Reunion
September 7-12, 2010 Olympia Resort, Oconomowoc, Wisconsin.

_______________________________________________________
REUNION
INFORMATION WILL BE MAILED OUT BEGINNING THE FIRST WEEK OF
JANUARY 2010
Reunion information will only be mailed to those people who are CURRENT members
of the association. That means that if your membership expires on
December 31, 2009
you will not receive your reunion information until you renew your
membership.
A large number
have already mailed in their dues and their new membership cards will be mailed
out with the reunion information so that we can save on postage.
Those members whose membership does not expire at the end of the year will have
their reunion information mailed the first week of January.
I'm sure all of
you read Bill's article in the Badger and have questions concerning the Great
Lakes graduation. At this time, there are only 100 seats available
and our association has those seats reserved. The seats for the actual
ceremony will be assigned to the first 100 former crew members who sign up for
the tour.
If we are able to
secure additional seats former crew members still will have first priority
for those seats. No seats will be confirmed until you check in at the
reunion.
The bottom line is for anyone to have a chance to attend the ceremony you must
purchase the tour tickets. All deadlines apply so please pay attention to
your reunion information paperwork when it arrives.
