Reunion | Vincennes, Indiana
August
4th through 7th
Why
did you choose Vincennes as the site of the reunion?
The organizers narrowed down the selections to 4 sites. There was a month-long
voting process where Vincennes, Indiana was the unanimous selection.

Why
did you choose August 4th-7th?
Summer time seems to be the best time for traveling. Many of our
crew have children and this time is optimal for not interfering
with school schedules. In addition, the hotel we chose offered the
best room rates for this time in August.

What
does the Holiday Inn Bayside offer?
Since this hotel has years of experience in serving military reunions,
they understand our needs and offer the best value not only in room
rates but in the services they provide. Check
out the complete list of their offerings.

I
noticed there are transaction fees. What is that about?
Since we do not have an established organization and are lacking
a pool of funds (derived from dues, memorabilia sales, etc.), we
do not have the ability to pay the deposit required to guarantee
the room rates and to reserve the services (banquet, breakfast).
Had we had an established fund, we could have used it to defray
some of the indirect costs. More on fees.

Why
is there a registration fee?
We are being provided with a hospitality room. This is a place where
we will gather to catch up, share our experiences; show our memorabilia
(cruise books, videos, etc.) and to just hang out in between events.
We will be providing refreshments (cocktails, beer & wine, soft
drinks and snacks) to all of our attendees. This is NOT a service
we pay the hotel for. We will be purchasing and stocking this room
ourselves. This fee provides us the ability to pool our resources
together. The leftover funds will be held for the next reunion or
to purchase Vincennes items for future sale (such as hats, shirts,
etc.).

What
happens at the banquet?
This will be a time when we all gather together for a meal; in this
case it will be a luau held by the poolside.

What if I need to cancel? Will my money be refunded?
Since
we are guaranteeing a certain number of reunion attendees, we had
to pay a fee that will be non-refundable should we cancel. Your
pre-registration fee is applied to this. That fee, along with the
credit card transaction fee is non-refundable. Please visit the cancellation information page for more
details. If we had our own association, this would have been covered
out of the pool of funds.
