This is a rough draft of the USS Samuel Gompers 2010 Reunion Plan of the Week

UPDATED 09/01/10
A check in table will be located at the entry to the Carson, Truckee, Tahoe Rooms. We will begin early bird check in at 1900 hours on Thursday, September 30, and will continue with check ins until everyone is checked in. If you are willing to be placed on the "Watch Bill" for the check in table just let us know when you check in.
Please bring your Cruise Books, Photo Albums, and other memorabilia to set up on the display tables we will have in the Hospitality Room. We will be manning the Hospitality Room at all times while it is open to ensure your items are secure.
There will be a 50/50 Raffle and Door Prizes, if you have something that you would like to donate to the Raffle please contact Mary Snider at (510) 520-3047
