| What's new!
1.
There has been some confusion with the
hotel reservation desk about rates and dates. Willy and I
have talked with them and hope it's fixed. The days are
Friday through Monday night. Any one having issue contact
Willy or my self.
2. There is a shuttle from the
airport to the hotel. . It's called the K.C.I. and runs
every 30 minutes. The cost is $15.00 or $25.00 round
trip. Purchase your ticket onboard the bus.
3. The Arabia tour. In order to
put this five hour bus tour together we need a minimum
of 30 people. The cost is $49.00 per person and will
include the 1 1/2 hour tour of the Arabia museum, a late
buffet lunch and a bus tour around K/C. It would leave
the hotel at 2pm Sunday returning at 6:30. All those
interested please contact Frank Lydell. I will need to
collect payment early to put it together.

Possible
discussions for the reunion:
- Where the heck are we
going to hold the next one. A lot of East Coast crew are
grumbling, so if you have any ideas let us know.
- We'll be asking for volunteers for the 2007 reunion, so if
you're anxious to volunteer, start thinking about it.
-
Spinax, Inc. (should we incorporate)?
-
Dues (Should we have yearly dues for the Spinax fund)?
Also, if someone would
like to speak at the Banquet, please let us know. |
Here
is a breakdown of some of the costs for the Reunion:
- Hotel room:
$99.00
per night
- Banquet:
(Monday 29th at 7pm)
$70
per person which includes banquet dinner
(the
actual cost for the meal is $55.00 with tip and tax. It will be a
buffet consisting of four entrees, all you cat eat, plus the usual
vegetables, desert and coffee, etc. This also covers the cost of the
room, sound system and bar tender. Any money remaining goes in the
fund after the reunion)
- Ladies luncheon:
$20-25.00 (not
finalized)
- Hospitality Room is a BYOB operation - but will have a tip jar -
maybe $25.00
- Still working on tours and stuff! (Ideas welcome)!
We're
planning on having a raffle and/or silent auction at the KC reunion.
So ANYBODY that has a Spinax memento or submarine items that they
would care to donate we would like to have them! All proceeds, of course,
go to the Spinax Slush Fund.
If you do have something to contribute, please contact Bruce
Taft with a description of the item.

We're
working on putting together a couple of tours for KC.
One idea is to visit
the Arabia Steamboat Museum. Check it out at :
http://www.1856.com/
Another idea is to
tour the Harley Davidson plant.
http://www.harley-davidson.com/CO/FTY/en/kansascity.asp?locale=en_US&bmLocale=en_US
Here is a website
for things to do in KC
http://www.tjcsubbase.org/convention/kc_info.htm
If you have
something to suggest for a tour, let Frank know and we'll
discuss it. Or if you just want to branch out on your own, there are
a lot of things to see.
More information to follow. Any Questions, contact anyone below:
