Why is banquet on Sunday night? Has always been on Sat.nights,and leaving on Sun. Those still working May not be able to stay Sunday night for the banquet if they have to be at work Mon. Morning.
Ronald,
Thanks for the question, I am sure some of the other members have the same thoughts.
The reason is money. We are having the reunion on the east coast next year near Washington D.C., and it is an expensive place to visit. Through our committee we visited several hotels that could support a reunion and were a good quality hotel with reasonable rates.
By shifting our banquet to Sunday night we got a break on the meal and the ballroom. plus the room rate is very reasonable.
So to provide the best venue at an affordable price, shifting the banquet to Sunday was the best bang for the buck.
We talked to several members (not all by any means) and they supported the move to Sunday.
We also are starting a day later so instead of arriving on Wednesday you can arrive on Thursday and not miss the Wednesday for work.
Thanks for the question,
Van
How do we sign up? I’m ready … the date is saved.
Tom, they have not completed the reunion registration form yet…watch for them here http://www.swiftboats.org/topic/2015-sbsa-reunion/
Still waiting for the registration site Jim.
Is The Swift Boat Sailors Association dues part of the price for this site or do you need a separate Check for the uses of this site?
Yes, your membership SBSA dues cover your membership here and allows you to post in http://www.swiftboats.org/forums/
The forums can be read by anyone.
Thanks Jim, now will try to look the site over. By the way how do we post pictures to the gallery? I will look around to see if I can figure it out, but an answer might help out others and me if I don’t figure it out.
Will we be getting a reunion package in the mail or will it be done by web only ? Can we secure hotel rooms now,what will cost be ? Thanks for all of your hard work.
Ron,
We wil send out the reunion registration by snail mail , and it will be on this site which will be a much easier way to sign up. I believe you can contact the hotel and make reservations now. Tell them you are with SBSA. If you are unable contact me again and We will recheck with the hotel.
