Here is the latest word from Bill Buesking, our
Treasurer and Reunion Chairman:
To: C-7A Caribou Association Members
Start making plans to attend our 2007 Reunion to be held
in San Antonio, Texas from 6 to 9 September. The Holiday Inn, Riverwalk
has opened the reservation period for advance reservations. If you plan
to attend you can call the Holiday Inn toll free at 1-888-615-0726 or
use the local number 210-224-2500. Ask to book for the C-7 Reunion or
code: CCA coming in September 6, 2007. The San Antonio Riverwalk has
become a favored destination for conventions and as such the Riverwalk
hotel locations are becoming very expensive. Our rate of $95.00 per
night, plus taxes, is an excellent rate for the location with so many
attractions within easy walking distance along the River Walk. The
Alamo, Buckhorn Museum, Majestic Theatre, Tower of the Americus
Restaurant and the El Mercado (Mexican Shopping Plaza) are just a few
that are short distances from the hotel. We presently have a room block
of 125 per night, and if enough advance reservations are made, we will
be able to increase that number so please call early for reservations if
you plan to attend. The hotel rate is also guaranteed for our reunion
attendees for three days before and after our reunion dates if anyone
withes to stay longer. Check out San Antonio activities at http://www.sanantoniovisit.com/.
The hotel is listed at that site under Bookings and Savings and then
Downtown Hotels. Make sure that you select the Riverwalk location.

Our Reunion Committee includes myself, Pat and Alicia
Hanavan, Wilson Petefish, and Jim Meyer. We would like to announce that
General John Jumper has accepted our invitation to be our keynote
speaker at the Reunion Banquet to be held on Saturday evening, September
8, in the Holiday Inn Banquet Room. The Banquet Room and our War Room
facility will be located on the 7th floor of the hotel and
will be a semi-private area where we will be able to socialize with
little interference from other hotel guests. We will also be able to
provide drinks in our War Room for our evening gatherings and have
coffee and donut pastries available each morning. Our new Memoralbilia
Chairman, Jim Meyer, will have memorabilia available at the reunion in
the War Room. Visit our web site,
http://www.c-7acaribou.com/memorabilia/memorabilia.htm
to check out the available items and if you would like to order before
the reunion please send your order to Jim at his address listed.
Additional information about reunion activities will be
included in future e-mailings and our next Newsletter should be sent out
with more information by April next year. Registration forms will be
included and a Reunion Flyer will also be sent to our entire membership
about 2 months prior to the reunion. Will see you there. One last
personal item. Please note that my e-mail address has changed to
wbuesking@satx.rr.com.
