The Vote is for Chicago 14 to 7

Former Mayor Daley USMCR Marine is pleased.  One week AT to follow in California or Nevada in 2013 / 14 To Be Determined


More Choices. Do we want downtown Chicago or a resort near Chicago?

Vote

1.  Downtown Chicago, probably near north. Advantages - Don't need a car, easy to get to from the airport, walk everywhere, great shopping on Michigan Ave, nice restaurants, Amphibious Operation available at Navy Pier and Chicago River. Disadvantage room costs.


2. Resort near Chicago - say Starved Rock or Lake Geneva or Galena or? Advantages lower room and food costs. Disadvantages are you need a car. If we vote for 2 we will have a discussion and run off election for the actual site.

2012 Reunion Location - The Vote

Larry, Doug, Will Last Chicago Reunion

Vote so far – double check. I have been known to screw up plus Iamfromda soutsideaChicaga where we steal votes. Sevold voted for both Chicago and Away so he must be from Chicago.

14 to 7 in favor of Chicago on July 23, 2011

Chicago:      


Barney, Brooks, Dunne, Eddington, Hudon, Hullinger, Johnson, Magilligan,  McLaughin, Sevold, Wardlow, Wilkes, C. Wood, Wozniak

Away:          


Bailey, Davis, B. Hill, Holahan, Homan, Joralemon, L Woods

2010 Reunion Pensacola

If this vote holds up, I suggest we do the drill weekend in Chicago in 2012, and do an active duty week in the west in 2013 or 2014. We could do the major weekend in Las Vegas, Pendleton, Miramar, or San Diego/Coronado/North Island. Some folks would probably just do the weekend. The rest could spend the balance of the ADT week in southern California / Las Vegas.
