To all members of TAC Missileers that may be planning to attend the 2015 Reunion in Boston:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\nBill Simpson and I have been in contact with hotels in the Boston area and have found out that staying at the hotels is going to be a very expensive venture.\n<\/p>\n
To try to stay away from the high cost and the crowds, Bill and I decided we needed to stay away from the months of Sept.\/Oct. We decided to try to hold the reunion in late Aug. Of course this would be in the warmer part of the year and would not afford us the \"fall\" colors that I'm sure everyone would like to see.\n<\/p>\n
At present I have been in contact with the Embassy Suite at the airport. They have quoted a proposal of $195.00 a night if the reunion is held in August. If we move into the months of Sept.\/Oct. the cost jumps to $249.00 a night plus tax, making the rate $268.00 a night. On top of this parking has to be figured in at $30.00 a night, for those that drive to the reunion. Of course we all have to eat which is an added expense.\n<\/p>\n
I'm concerned we may not have much of a turn out for this reunion because of the expense and need to know how everyone feels about this. We of course will move forward with the planning if it is determined the expense will not deter many of the members attending the reunion. If it is determined we won't have much of a turnout, we would need to decide if we want to move the reunion to a less expensive location. At the San Antonio Reunion the other 2 cities on the ballot were Denver & Orlando. Boston won out with 34 votes, Denver had 32 votes, and Orlando had 24 votes.\n<\/p>\n
Please let the officers know your thoughts and wishes of what we need to consider. Again we will adhere to the membership's wishes regarding whether to go ahead and hold the reunion in Boston, or try to locate to a less expensive city.\n<\/p>\n
Thanks,
\nMax Butler<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n
