HAPPY FALL Y’ALL….
Greetings from Tom and Bonnie in North Carolina
We are so excited about the 101st Recon Reunion next September 20-23.
The motel we have chosen, Embassy Suites Riverside, will be opening in January, 2018 but is now accepting reservations for our event in September. The link to making reservations:
http://group.embassysuites.com/101stAirborneReunion. We were only able to save 15 rooms on a guaranteed courtesy but the motel assured us they would make every effort to accommodate as many of you as needed. We DO encourage you to make reservations as soon as you can as September is still considered a vacation month in sunny Wilmington, NC and the rooms will probably go fast. We also have access to a group rate at the Hilton Riverside (2 blocks from the Embassy Suites) and the Best Western Coastline Inn (adjacent to the Embassy and is also pet friendly). The Embassy Suites offers a free breakfast and an evening reception, the Coastline Inn offers a free breakfast, but the Hilton does not offer free breakfast. Room rates vary only slightly per night. Parking is free at the Coastline Inn and the charge for parking at the Hilton and Embassy Suites is $12 per night.
We have a really fun weekend planned but have allowed time for you to relax and see this beautiful area of North Carolina. A definite itinerary will be emailed next Spring. The one part of the weekend we are excited about is the Saturday dinner on the fantail of the USS North Carolina. We believe that will be a treat for all of us. We have good food and good entertainment lined up.
We need several pieces of information from you….
Any food allergies (especially seafood/shrimp)……
Any problems with ambulation or special needs (i.e. distilled water for CPAP)
Shirt size (men’s….veterans)….
Are you an active member of a Veterans’ Group (American Legion, DAV, etc.)
(This information can be emailed to us…..)
Wilmington NC airport is the closest airport to our event.
Please text or email as you receive this letter. We want to make sure we contact everyone!!!!
