≈≈≈≈ANNOUNCEMENT #1 Once again, the RDHS class of 1963 invites all of you to their March 1 - 3 Florida party/reunion ≈≈≈≈

 Bob’s note:  The RDHS class of 1963 (Blaine Pool and Eddie Neubert (Gay Neubert’s younger brother)) has a 1963 class reunion every winter in Florida.  For many years they invite all other RDHS classes.  Some from our class of 1961 have attended these previous Winter events.

> Hey Kids!
> Trust all continues well with you all.  
> Well, there went summer and fall is moving by fast . We'll be stuffin' the turkey and puttin' up the tree before you know it and 2019 will be here and our March 1-3 Reunion will be fast approaching.
> 
> Cape Canaveral Reunion was terrific and I hope you will all be able to attend our Sarasota reunion next year.  Following are the basic details and info you will need.
> 
> First, we will be staying at the Residence Inn by Marriott.  Go to their website to check out this great property.   Our room will be "Studio Room"which includes a convertible couch if you want to share a room,  very nice.  They will be providing a free full breakfast for our group and they are allowing us to use the nice breakfast room for our evening meetings for no charge.  They have just complete a make-over, so very nice.  Since we have selected March as our dates, it happens to be peak season with the highest prices!  (We should consider January for the next Reunion to get the lowest rates) Anyway, the normal cost for rooms is just over $300!, but our rate is $199.  That's just about as low as you can find for any nice hotel at that time of year.  When you call them, just mention River Dell Reunion.  Room will be available until two weeks prior to the event.  We have 15 rooms reserved.  Their number 941-961-6164. The website is: www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/srqri-residence-inn-sarasota-bradenton/ <http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/srqri-residence-inn-sarasota-bradenton/>
> 
> The hotel is minutes from the airport for those flying in.  There is a complementary shuttle, just call them.  The hotel is also in walking distance to the Ringling Museum and the Classic Car Museum that some may enjoy.  Also, the Baltimore Orioles are staying there, so you may bump into some pro baseball players!  March is spring training and there is a home game on Sunday against the Detroit Tigers at the stadium down town. Details on ticket prices are not yet available. You may want to extend your visit and catch the game.
> 
> ITINERARY:
> Friday Evening:  Dinner will be at "Der Dutchman", terrific Amish style family dinner environment, great food and prices, not to mention all sorts of products in their store and close. It's kind of like a big "Cracker Barrel".  Check it out: just search Der Dutchman Sarasota Fl.  When we return to the hotel we can sit around the outdoor fire pit and have a glass of wine together. (BYO)
> 
> Saturday: After breakfast (8-9 or 9:30am) we will make our way over to the Ringling Museum. It must be pretty nice, it gets almost 5 stars! Tickets are $23 for seniors.  Details of how we get there will be decided at breakfast. Their shuttle is available to transport us to Ringling if we desire.  We will eat lunch at the museum Banyan Cafe.  https://www.ringling.org/ <https://www.ringling.org/>
> The afternoon is free.  You may want to go fishing, or to the Classic Car Museum www.sarasotacarmuseum.org/ <http://www.sarasotacarmuseum.org/>  or find out where a baseball team practices, return to Ringling or take a nap.  Just enjoy.
> 
> Saturday Evening: OK, unfortunately, due to the date of our Reunion, no nice seafood places will take reservations.  I tried.  So, it's back to Der Dutchman for Saturday evening.  The folks there were very nice, it's a beautiful restaurant with great prices and good variety.
> Upon returning to the hotel, we have use of the very nice breakfast area where we can hopefully arrange for Roger and Carla to run another Oldies Jeopardy competition. (Yet to be arranged)  Afterward it would be nice to transition outside to the fire pit area again to just hang out and have another glass of wine.
> 
> Sunday AM - Depart after breakfast and tearful goodbyes. 
> 
> PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO THOSE YOU KNOW WHO WERE NOT WITH US LAST YEAR BUT MAY BE INTERESTED THIS YEAR.  BLAINE WILL FORWARD TO ALL ON HIS LIST. 
> 
> Any questions or comments, email or call me: 912-687-3338
> 
> FINALLY, I would appreciate your letting me know if you will be attending. Folks often times ask who is going.  I will send out periodic lists of those who contact me.  Thanks.   
> Eddie
