The first tour day, Thursday, our
members will tour the Post Training
Facility.
Due to the size of our group, this tour
will be only for
Veterans. They plan to see the Rifle range, the Night Vision operations,
and at least two more stations. The tour starts at 8:00am ~ departure
from the hotel about 7:30am.
Each group of about 20 will rotate thru
each of 4 stops…lunch will be about 11:30 at the Landing.
A German
meal has been arranged. Any alcohol will be a separate charge. We
plan to be back to the hotel around 4:30pm.
The Association will provide transportation,
with the help of our
members… however
we will need about 4 personal vehicles
to cover overflow.
Also on Thursday,
our guests/dependents
are invited to attend a
luncheon in Daleville, at The Castle Café.
(A German full course
meal). We will have an informative speaker and an
opportunity to shop
at Ingrid’s jewelers. Specializing in military
jewelry for ladies and
gents, her website is http://www.ingridsjewelers.com
Personal vehicle is our form of transportation.
Please plan to meet
with your friends and share a ride.
Dinner on Thursday,
at the hotel, is being catered by the BBQ Shack.
Friday,
we will all go to the Army Aviation Museum
on Post.
We will stagger our departure and lunch times for the facilities to be
able
to accommodate our large group. At the midpoint of the day,
we will all meet
at the Museum
to take our group photograph.
We also suggest that you see the Veterans
Memorial just across
from
the Museum. Lunch will be at Divots
at the Silver Wings Golf Club.
The Association will provide transportation.
Dinner on Friday, at
the hotel, is being catered by Milano Ristorante.
Saturday, Association
members will have a business meeting in the
hotel hospitality room at 9am.
Once completed, we can enjoy lunch
together at the hotel (catered by Subway)
and take advantage of some free time.
In the afternoon, we will go to the Post
Headquarters Chapel for our
traditional memorial service at 4:00pm.
Following our service, we will
go The
Landing (Rucker’s old Officer’s club) for our Banquet.
(Coat and tie is the suggested attire)
We also plan to have
a photographer taking
family photos for our
pictorial address directory.
(and possibly another group photo)
The Association will provide transportation.
Please note that we are following suggestions by the Post Community
Relations
office and minimizing personal vehicles on Post. Also, take
note that we will need at
least one Retiree photo ID per vehicle, and
everyone will need a government issued ID to be allowed on Post.
Since our Memorial service will be held on
Saturday
afternoon, there are no formal events
for Sunday.
The hospitality room will be open to anyone wishing to
visit or say farewells.
You’ll note that we have several meals planned for the hotel hospitality
room ~
we hope that this will offer you more time to visit with each
other. If you have family or friends in the area, feel free to opt out
of
our meal…we’ll understand…but you can invite them to join in our
event and get to know us too!
We want this to be fun for all!
Feel free to call, email or text any questions you may have before our
reunion begins. Thank you for the opportunity to see all of you again.
