All shipmates and their guests from all the years are invited to another great reunion !! We have secured a terrific hotel with rooms at a discounted rate of $105 per night plus tax. You can call for a room reservation during regular business hours ( San Diego time ) at 1 800 882 0858. Ask for the McCormick group rate. Mention the reunion. If you call after hours or on the weekend, you will get the headquarters switchboard and they will not be able to help you with our group rate. If you want to book a room on days other than the reunion dates, ( the nights of Oct 4th, 5th and 6th ) you will have to sweet talk them to get the discount, if you can. You can not book a room online and get a discount.
Here’s what will be happening and what it will cost:
The
advance registration fee mailed in by September 1st
will be $25 per shipmate with no fee for spouses and guest.
The registration fee after that date and any time at the reunion
itself will be $40 per shipmate. Mail your registration
fee to David Newham at his address shown below.
We’ll have our own hospitality room with our own food and refreshments at no additional cost. It will be open from when we arrive on Thursday until we leave on Sunday so we can visit while sharing memories and sea stories. We will always need a shipmate to act as a host and keep it open for all of us to enjoy.
On Friday the 5th at 9:30 a.m. we will take a charter bus to the 32nd Street Naval Station for a ship tour, hopefully of a fully ready DDG. After the ship tour we will proceed on a scenic route to the Bali Hai restaurant on Shelter Island http://www.balihairestaurant.com/ , for a delicious luncheon over looking the harbor with a postcard perfect view. There will be a buffet with four entrees, salads, dessert, and coffee or iced tea. The service is excellent, and the food is always fresh and delicious. Then we will tour back to Seaport Village or Old Town with some time to shop and browse, or Balboa Park with time for the zoo or the museums. We’ll be back at the hotel around 4:30 p.m. The cost of both of these events will be $40 per person. The cost of the bus tour to the ship tour only will be $18.
On Friday the 5th after our bus tour and picnic Friday evening will be free for dinner on your own, or you could visit with shipmates in our hospitality room.
On Saturday, October 6th, there will be an optional bus tour to the San Diego Wild Animal Park leaving at 9:00 a.m. and returning to the hotel by 3:30 p.m. The cost per person with round trip transportation and admission will be $49 per person.
On Saturday, October 6th, after the optional Wild Animal Park tour and before our Banquet, we’ll squeeze in a USS LYNDE McCORMICK (DDG-8) Unincorporated Association meeting late that afternoon to chose new officers and decide our next reunion location and year.
On Saturday evening, October 6th, we will hold our banquet starting at 6:30 p.m. at the hotel. We will have a speaker to bring us an update from the fleet and we will hear from all of our shipmates as they introduce themselves and briefly tell about their service on our ship.
The menu for the
banquet will be - Those who want a optional entrée, can order Salmon Kauai served on a Bed of Oriental Vegetables topped with a Wasabi Cream Sauce served with Steamed Rice, or a vegetarian entrée with all the other trimmings, salad and dessert for $37 per person.
On Sunday morning, October 7th, we’ll have coffee in our hospitality room as we say our “Goodbyes” until our next reunion!
Depending on the needs of the Navy we may have to flip the schedules for Friday and Saturday. We are also working on a ship tour for Thursday afternoon.
One thing we do need right now is some dues money to help us keep our association alive, well and growing. We do not have a formal annual dues requirement, but we are awfully glad to get annual contributions from shipmates. If you could send in $10, $25 or more that would be great. This contribution is not deductible for taxes as we are not a 501(c)(3) organization.
