Minutes of BOD Meeting, Norfolk, VA, May 2, 2007
A board meeting was held May 2, 2007, at the Northrop Grumman office
in Norfolk, Virginia to receive a briefing by Clyde Cain on the
progress of the Intruder Association Reunion 2008 in San Diego.
The San Diego Team, primarily Clyde and West Coast Board Representative,
Larry Yarham, is progressing on track. Assisting with the preparations
is Marine Representative, John Valovich. In attendance were Rupe
Owens, Mac McDanel and Bruce Byrum and, special guest, Charlie Carr.
Check-in for the Reunion will occur on May 1, 2008.
The Town and Country Hotel in Mission Valley will host the event.
Plans include a Thursday evening Happy Hour/ Reception; Friday activities
include Shopping and Tours, a Members Business Meeting, Golf and
Dedication of Marine Intruder Aircraft at Miramar, followed by a
Happy Hour at Miramar. Later that afternoon/early evening, A San
Diego Harbor Cruise will be available for members wishing for some
sea time and a great meal underway; Saturday activities include
Shopping and Tours, Dedication of the Intruder Association Ready
Room with tours aboard MIDWAY and a semi-formal (coat and tie for
Gents) Banquet; Sunday plans include Breakfast and departure.
All of the arrangements are pretty well set although
there may be some minor scheduling tweaking expected as our Reunion
date nears.
The Committee plans to mail a sign-up sheet with
prices and schedule sometime after the first of the year. We hope
to have in place the ability to sign up, and remit your payments
electronically. An option to mail your responses with your personal
check is available, it that method is more preferable.
Additionally, Clyde presented a briefing on the
status of the USS Midway Intruder Ready Room refurbishment progress.
The San Diego Team deserves a sincere and well-deserved WELL DONE
for the progress and completion of efforts to present a professional
tribute to the Intruder and the personnel who maintained and operated
the A-6. The Intruder Ready Room will be ready to receive guests
in June, 2007 and a formal dedication is planned during our May,
2008 San Diego Reunion. |
