Ok shipmates: With the Kentucky Derby just finished, we're off
and running with the 2015 TCHVA Reunion sign-up. As advertised, the 2015 TCHVA reunion is set for September 20th (thats
a Sunday) to September 25th (Friday) with our banquet scheduled for Thursday, September 24th and the Officers Club on the
Newport Naval Station. Our host, Ron Koshko has managed to get us some really great room rates at the Mainstay Hotel
and Conference Center in Newport! Our rate will be $80 per night + 13% Tax = $90.40 per night Double/King per room. This is a very good price
for Newport!! Our first order of business is to make those reservations now! Unreserved rooms must be released
on August 9th so sign up now! Don't risk trying to book after the release date as you may not get a room; and if you
do, it will be at a much higher rate! CALL 401-849-9880 and be sure to tell the hotel you are with the USS Thomas C
Hart Veterans Association reunion to get the special rate. To visit the hotel website click the below link.
