Greetings:

I am reaching out to 392nd BGMA members who may be considering attending the Colorado Springs 8th AFHS Reunion (Oct. 1-5). Our President, Ralph Winter recently passed away; we need to elect his successor, and there may be some board seats open. Please be advised, you need to be a member for a year to have voting privledges. The Board will be conducting pre-convention business via zoom meetings, with the hope that we can provide the New President with a “clean bill” to start his term.

As 1st VP, I have the task of preparation. Circumstances led me to make a few changes to our customs. I booked a limited number of accomodations at Home2 Suites ( .5 mile walk or 4 minutes by car from the Convention Hotel), with a “cozy but adequate” space for our hospitality room. At this moment, we have our Banner but few of the other items which enhance our hospitality suite. In addition, the Convention schedule provides a narrow window of time to conduct our Membership Meeting on Friday morning (Oct. 3). The Group Rendezvous Dinners are being held in the evening, as usual. However, several other Bomb Groups will share the Banquet Room with us.

To overcoime this, I reserved a business meeting room in the Home2 Suites, for Saturday, Oct. 4. We will have access to it for the day, allowing us to hold our meetings and rituals in a more relaxed manner.

Home 2 Suites will give us rooms rates competitive with the 8thAFHS Convention rate (no longer available Double Tree reunion hotel), so you will have that alternative. It also includes breakfast and parking.
