Its time to think about our next reunion location selected by our veterans at the Washington DC reunion in 2011. This letter is to extend an invitation to attend the San Diego, California 95th Evacuation Hospital Associations 10th REUNION Thursday May 16, 2013 – Sunday May 19, 2013.

This letter contains information about event registration, FEE Form and Hospitality Preference. This letter and/or e-mail is sent to the LAST known address we have for you. In order to reduce costs, when possible, the e-mail address was used. Please check with your friends and others who might wish to attend to see if they got this.

Utilize the 95th EVAC website link http://www.95thevac.com and the 95th Evac e-mail address mickthec@hotmail.com to update your information.

In keeping with the location, many have asked that we allow ample time to go sightseeing on your own.

Here is what you NEED to KNOW.

The REUNION fee is $125.00. This covers two buffet dinners, the cost of the items for the hospitality suite which means drinks and associated items. As with ALL previous Reunions, the fee is NOT refundable and is required from EACH person who attends. We request that you send the fee check (NO CASH) or before April 1, 2013 or as early as possible along with your preference list. ALL unspent funds are turned over to the next host as a nest egg. If you are not attending the reunion, please consider a small donation to off set our reunion costs.
