Here are some questions I have received about the reunion. If you can't find the answer to your question below, please send it to mary@samuelgompersreunion.org
Somewhere between dressy casual and semi-formal.
So far as I can tell, the all Crewmember all years have been almost every two years, with some breaks inbetween. There was at least one reunion back east that was for 90's era only, and it looks like Deck Department is planning one for next year.
I set up a website with all of the info, and you may download the two registration forms there. The address is http://www.samuelgompersreunion.org/ If you arent't on the email list, send me your email address, and I will get you on the contact list.
There are two forms to fill out and return in order to attend the Reunion, the Hotel Reservation Form and the Reunion Registration Form.
The Reunion and Optional Tour Registration Form deadline will be July 30, 2010.
The Hotel Reservations Registration deadline is August 31, 2010.
If you go to http://www.samuelgompersreunion.org/, the registration forms are there and can be downloaded
I have posted the names of people who have registered on this site under Attendees (with the exception of those who asked to keep their names off the list)
the $25.00 is just to cover the Reunion costs...such as keeping the meeting space stocked with drinks, snacks, nametags, audio visual rental, and some other misc. costs. The Banquet and breakfasts are covered at the bottom of the Circus Circus Hotel Reg forms and that is $52.00 per person.
If I have it, I will send them your email address and let them know you are looking for them. If I don't there are quite a few places you can look. Facebook (has several Gompers groups), Military.com, USNavy Together We Served, the USS Samuel Gompers website http://www.usssamuelgompers.org , Tin Can Sailors, the Goat Locker are just a few.
No, nope, sorry I have been banned from singing the Kareoke this year!
That will really depend on the number of people we have and how many last minute people we are trying to squeeze in... the contract I signed said I had to give final numbers to the catering 48 hours in advance.
I recommend that you use the Circus Circus Registration form to reserve your room (includes the banquet), if something comes up, and you can't make it you can cancel the reservation up to 48 hours in advance and be refunded by Circus Circus...that would ensure your place at the dinner table!
We will keep the meeting space stocked with soft drinks, beer, and snacks. At the Banquet we will each get Two Drink Tickets for the No Host Bar (domestic beer, house wine, well cocktails) The bar will also take cash for anyone who wants something different, or more than two drinks.
If playing cards and telling sea stories with old Navy pals in the Meeting Space or going on one of the tours isn't your cup of tea...there are quite a few other things to do! Click on the "What Else Is There To Do?" tab for more info!
