Reunion Information Package

The Crowne Plaza has extended the deadline for making reservations at the group rate until September 8th.

I would greatly appreciate receiving your registration sheet by the end of August.  I need to provide the tour company and hotel catering head counts and last minute signups are a pain in the ass.

To see who is coming to the reunion, check the Shipmates List. A 'R' before a name means they are registered to come.

Rota Reunion

Due to all the issues with the economy, the Rota reunion tentatively planned for next year is on hold.

The 2009 reunion will now be held in the Philadephia area, as originally voted on at the 2006 New London reunion. Details will be posted here and mailed to you early next year.

The Association now has Challenge Coins and Keychains

You will receive one free coin or keychain the next time you pay dues of any type (lifetime, new member, or renewal). Note: Just one free, not one each time you pay future dues. Click here if you wish to pay dues at this time:

All Canopus Lifers and everyone that has paid any dues since the first of the year will be sent a free coin or keychain. I will eventually contact you to see what style you prefer or you can email, call or write me to let me know.

If you want an additional coin or keychain, they will be $12 each in the Ship's Store.

The Ship's Store now has a high quality knit shirt with ship's silouette: New
