OFFICER CANDIDATE SCHOOL
CLASS 58B REUNION

The Florida 58B Group has selected the Adams Mark Hotel in Orlando as the Site for the Class Reunion.  We looked at over seven different Hotels, usually accompanied by a Shades of Green Representative and after much deliberation about costs, facilities, contracts, proximity to the airport, shopping, attractions, restaurants, etc, decided that the Adams Mark was the best Hotel. First, it is located in the Florida Mall...... a world famous mall  filled with restaurants, shops and arcades under the same roof as the Hotel. Secondly the Hotel is clean and well maintained... this was a noticeable problem at many of the hotels we visited... Frank Chavers and I checked very carefully for evidence of mold or mildew....and dropped consideration of three hotels on that basis alone.... (The Shades of Green Rep. also clued us in on some problems the hotels were having... BTW, it is because of the SOG Rep that we could get the discounted prices we did....)

We must sign a contract..... just like the San Antonio Group did.. By signing the contract we agree to have the reunion at the hotel.... if we cancel the  reunion then we will be liable for the room and banquet fees which could be considerable. ... therefore We need to be able to rely on all who say they are attending. The hotel will also provide a Presidential Suite of three rooms as our ³Hospitality Area free of charge provided 90% of the folks who say they are coming and book three nights actually stay the three nights... Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights... (31 October, 1 & 2 November) if we do not live up to our planned attendance all three nights then we must pay the regular room rate for the three rooms... I don¹t think this will be a problem but I just wanted to let everyone know that this seems to be a pretty standard setup with all the hotels... Our room rates at this hotel are $70.00 per night...... I am pretty sure you are going to be very pleased with our selection.

There are a few items that still need to be discussed with the Hotel.. we should resolve these items in about a week.... BUT FOR NOW I NEED A GOOD WORKING TOTAL  ON THE NUMBER OF ROOMS TO BOOK. I know there will be some who for various legitimate reasons will have to cancel out after booking reservations... so I will be a little conservative when I go to the hotel to book rooms.... So please email me as soon as possible and let me know of your room needs...so that I can use that figure to calculate how many rooms should be set aside for us.  Remember the contract has not been signed so please do not attempt to make reservations yet.... just confirm to me that you will be there the three nights and how many rooms you are going to need...

I have some discussions coming up with the hotel chef about our menu items...... I will get back with you later on how this turns out.... Okay Classmates that is it for now..... please get those room totals to me ASAP....

Tempis is fugiting and as you know I need to do several things before I go to Otlando with some of the Florida Group....  First I need a pretty accurate count of who is coming for at least the three nights of the main event and second I need to use that number to establish Banquet menus, pricing, etc..... naturally the more coming the better a price break on Dinner Entrées which in this area run pretty high.... ever heard of a forty dollar chicken breast???? There is also the free, Gratis, Complimentary three room suite for our Hospitality area.. That will be predicated on how many attend for the entire three nights.... so, have you not done so already you really need to email, snail mail or call me tootie sweety because us Florida boys are going to Orlando to Dicker in about two weeks...
