REUNION INFORMATION WILL BE
MAILED OUT BEGINNING THE FIRST WEEK OF
JANUARY 2010
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.
REMINDER
If you have not paid your dues, the M (for member) next to
your name on the website membership roster list has been removed.
You will have to submit another application in order to reinstate the M indicator.
If you believe this was done in error, please contact LaDonna
Bradshaw, bb64members@aol.com Membership Application

If you don't have an envelope, please mail your dues to: USS Wisconsin
Association, PO Box 227, Marion, MS 39342. Dues are $20 per year
