Who's On First?

John White - He started this whole thing a few years ago when he sent out his first call for volunteers to organize a reunion. Robert Lewis stepped up to the plate. And, as they say, the rest is history.

Newsletters

Quarterly newsletters are planned for mid-quarter of each season.

Reunion Planning

The Association plans for annual reunions that are scheduled on an alternating regional basis. This would mean East Coast, West Coast, Mid-America.

The next reunion in 2012 is planned for the Southeast (SC or FL) in early Fall.

Membership

Annual dues have been approved at a level of $20 for 2010. The purpose of dues is to defray expenses in preparing for reunions and the costs associated with mailings, newsletters, etc. No lifetime membership has as yet been established by the Association. The Association accepts donations to help further the establishment of a viable and financially solvent organization. Please read the note below regarding the tax status of donations.

Currently, membership is open to all former members of the USS Reeves ship's company. The below link will open an image of the application (printable) with a link to a ZIP file for an application form. It is available in either Microsoft Word or PDF format. Both are interactive and can be filled in directly. Alternately, open either form, print it and then fill it out by hand. Fax or mail the completed form with a check or money order to Michael Robertson at the address at the bottom of the form.
