From an e-mail I received:Greetings to Members, Family and Friends of the 325th Fighter Group!
Attached you will find the Registration Form for the 65th Annual Reunion of the 325th Fighter Group “Checkertail Clan” to be held in Dulles, Virginia on September 23 - 26, 2010. We have worked hard to bring you a wonderful collection of celebration, history, entertainment, camaraderie, and special guests at a wonderful location for a very reasonable price.
The turnout has already been greater than we have expected so we encourage you to book your room as soon as possible - it may be cancelled up to 24 hours prior to the reunion. Our special room block rate has been extended through Sunday night - many plan to stay an extra day.
We have prepared a list of Reunion activities and events that you may reserve on an “a la carte” basis and must be reserved with the Registration Form. If you cannot attend a given activity, you do not have to pay the food or transportation cost for that activity. Please know also that if you have family and/or friends living in the area that you wish to invite to one or another of the activities, they need only pay the fee the activities they attend. And we encourage you to encourage their participation!
Completed Registration Forms and payment checks are to be sent to Patrice Manget (Jerry Edwards’ daughter), either by postal mail or electronically directly to her email with payment through Pay Pal. Complete instructions are on the Registration Form.
We still need some help with the Saturday afternoon event - people with laptops and scanners (and some computer skills) to record photos and documents.
If you are told that there are no rooms left in the block, please contact Azza Bell immediately and directly at the Embassy Suites.
We would like to hearing from you even if you can't attend this GRAND CHECKERTAIL FAMILY REUNION!
The 2010 Reunion Committee
Jerry Edwards, Chairman
Kathy Evans Cluff, Coordinator
Patrice Manget, Admin-Registration
