’96,
Several things to update everyone on
CLASS ELECTION
First off, I would like to announce the results of our Class Election!
President- Bill Pennington (Current VP)
VP-Ghislaine Stonaker
Secretary-Cara Albright (Current Secretary)
Treasurer-Nikki Battaglia (Current Treasurer)
I appreciate everyone taking the time to vote. I also want to thank all 8 classmates for raising their hand to volunteer for the Executive Committee.
They will take over starting at the 25 year reunion. I’ve enjoyed the last 5 years and I appreciate all the support I have gotten (but I also look forward to BP taking the reigns for a bit) Congrats!
REUNION
A few important points:
- Westin Room Block– Our room block at the Westin is full. The committee tried to hit the sweet spot on reserved room and not incuring financial responsibility for unbooked rooms. (There have been stories of reunions having to cover empty rooms)
- Online store– It will close Sun July 18th. This will ensure all items are received by the reunion. Based on feedback, Tony Yanero will evaluate the cost, quality, and availability of items to determine if we will stick with the same company. Go to http://www.usnaclasstore.
com/96store.html to order your ’96 Gear! - Sponsors– If you know of any classmate, their company, or some other company that might be interested in sponsoring an event, please reach out to Thomas Leahy. There is the networking event, tailgate, fun run, etc… They have not worked out the actual mechanics yet but are exploring how we might be able to make our event even better with some sponsors. We might do signs, or something like “This Tailgate is brought to you by COMPANY X”.
- Fun Run– We had a much larger level of interest in this than we expected. The Committee is working with USNA on options. Considerations are weekend traffic, safety, getting on base, parking, and so on. Stand by for more information.
- Schedule update– Please note that a few things have moved in time and location. They will continue to update the SOE on the registration site.
- Registration– It is still open. At the moment, there is a planned price increase on 1 Aug.
