Here is the latest information as of June 19, 2009:

 

The Cambria Suites is our new reunion location and is an all-suites property.  The room rate is $79 a night plus tax (@ 16.75% -- $79 + $13.23(tax) = $92.23).  Each suite has a King or two Queen bed(s) plus a microwave, refrigerator, two flat screen TVs and a sofa sleeper. 

 

Reservations must be made by calling the Cambria Suites directly at 1-210-822-1554 and ask for the "MB Alameda Reunion" group rate.  Reservations must be made no later than Wednesday, September 2, 2009.  After that date the regular room rate will apply.  This rate is available for two dates before and after the core dates of Check In: Friday, October 2, 2009 to Check Out: Sunday, October 4, 2009.

 

Cambria Suites offers a free airport shuttle.  You will need to make reservations for pickup at the time you make your airline reservations.  Once you arrive at the San Antonio International Airport you can contact the hotel via their courtesy phone located in the baggage area for pickup.

 

Parking is free, there is a complimentary breakfast buffet include in the price of your room, and hi-speed internet access.  There is a full service bar and a 24 hour mini-store onsite.  There is a contemporary bistro-type restaurant that serves breakfast and dinner.  Although a complimentary breakfast buffet is included, if you order from the "Cook to Order" breakfast menu you must pay the full menu price.  Check out their website and make your reservations before it's too late. 

 

Updated information will be posted on the Reunion Forum at www.marines.togetherweserved.com and at the reunion website www.mbalamedareunion2009.myevent.com.  Please check those sites often.  If you have questions, comments or concerns please contact Sheila Isham (imisham@hotmail.com) or myself (shortwtch@yahoo.com).

 

I look forward to seeing  you all in San Antonio in October.

 

P.S.  We are still trying to locate our missing brothers and sisters.  If you know where any of them might be get the word out to them about the reunion.
