2025 Reunion

 Dear Altair Crew,

Greetings.  If we are to have a reunion this year it is time for me to start planning one.  Last years was cancelled because only 2 shipmates responded. Planning and holding a reunion is a lot of work and attendance has fallen so much from prior years that it hardly seems worth the effort;  however, Edie and I are ready and willing to give it one more try.  After this the board will have to decide what to do in the future.

The plan is for early October 8th check in 12th check out at the SeaWatch resort in Myrtle Beach, SC.  All one bedroom Condos include bedroom, living room, kitchenette and balcony with ocean view.  Registration will include breakfast, one theater show(Platters and Coasters) and Banquet dinner.  Rooms are $148.96 per night including all taxes.

Here is what we need:  Check your calendar, check your finances, Go to http://www.seawatchresort.com and check it out.  If you like what you see and think you might attend let me know by 15 June.  I won't hold you to it but having a tentative count helps in planning.
