Reservations, from Jim Oberholtzer)
ATTENTION REUNION-GOERS!
Please make
your 60th
Reunion
reservations NOW at the Sheraton Annapolis Hotel!
Reasons:
·
The Sheraton has 196 rooms, and early classmates’
hotel intentions (to our
Reunion
Team) already account for 152 rooms.
We need early data for effective overflow planning.
·
Your preferences (floor, non-smoking, bed, etc.) tend
to be more available for early reservations.
·
Reservations are no-cost.
Deposits are not charged in advance of check-in.
·
Reservations are not binding.
They may be cancelled without charge until 6:PM the day before arrival.
[However, Class of 1950 may be charged if large numbers of last-minute
cancellations drop our total room usage below contract minimums…SO KEEP OUR
REUNION
TEAM INFORMED – IMMEDIATELY! – IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND.]
·
It will help the Sheraton in planning for our 60th
Reunion
!
·
It will IMMENSELY help our
Reunion
Team in planning for you!
Class of 1950 Hotel Payment Policy
As at past
Class of 1950 reunions, the policy for our 60th
Reunion
is that individual classmates will make their own hotel reservations, will
secure these reservations by check or personal credit card, and will pay their
hotel bill on completion of stay.
Helpful
Reunion
Information
Reunion
dates are April 22–25. It
is strongly recommended that you arrive on Thursday, April 22, because Friday
has a full schedule, starting early. If
you intend to visit the Midshipmen’s Store, Thursday is the best day (it’s
not open on weekends, and you’ll be quite busy on Friday).
The Midshipmen’s Store closes at
4
PM
. The first scheduled
Reunion
event is the Thursday cocktail party at
5:30 PM
in the Sheraton.
The last
Reunion
event on Sunday, April 25, is the Harbor Luncheon Cruise.
How to Make Sheraton Reservations
Call Toll free:
1-888-627-8980 or Local: 1-410-266-3131.
Ask for Reservations. Tell
them you’re with “
USNA
Class of 1950
.” Our special room rate
is $169 (plus tax) per night (1 or 2 persons).
This is $20 less per night than estimated in our 2007 contract.

Dear Jack,
Please post this latest status of the Class of '50
60th reunion on the web site.
We have a contract with the Sheraton Hotel just on the
northside of route 50 in Annapolis. It has been a protracted 4 months
getting approval for our reunion schedule through the Alumni Association but
they have sent it to the Supe's office where it will take a few months
for review and hopefully final approval. Pending receipt of that approval, we
have not sent out any forms and will not be doing so asking you to commit
to activities and to send funds for your selections.
The same applies to the reservation for the hotel.
Based on the foregoing, disregard the reported status in the
latest July / August Shipmate that is in error.
The process will be a two step arrangement. Each
attendee will be solely responsible for making his room reservation with the
hotel. I addition, each attendee will receive a form asking for your
commitment to activities. That will go to John Henderson our banker / finance
officer for the reunion covering overall costs.
Our contract with the hotel requires a firm commitment for
rooms that they will block for us. We submitted a number in our contract
signing in December 2007. We will have a one-time chance to modify that
number at various dates prior to the reunion. Once the final occupancy
numbers are presented to the hotel, we will have to pay for any rooms
below the number blocked that are not used. Therefore it cannot be stressed
too strongly that your commitment to attend must be made early and be as
firm as possible. Although there is some latitude for relief in
emergency situations, the class treasury may be held hostage if we do not
meet our minimum occupancy.
We will be coming out within a few weeks with one of our 3
USNAAA paid USPS mailings giving you more information.
