26 June 2022:
We just wrapped up our TCHVA Reunion from 21 - 26 June 2022. Another great event! Stay tuned as we begin to compile
photos of this event to highlight the good times we all had. And as you may have read on the Home page (Quarterdeck/1MC)
all the members who were present at the 25 June 2022 Business Meeting voted to have another reunion next year (2023) in order
to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the TC Hart's commissioning. So stay tuned as we begin to develop our plans for
this Golden Jubilee celebration. Below you will see links to different pages
associated with this year's reunion. So please take a moment to visit at your leisure!

REMINDER - Last day to reserve a room for the TCHVA Reunion 21-26 June 2022 at the guaranteed reduced rate is Saturday, 21
May 2022!!! You can still register for the reunion after that date (by downloading the Registration
Form and mailing) but the hotel cannot guarantee the reduced rate. So please don't delay. Shaping up to be another
great reunion!
11 March 2022:
So far, so good as we have a number of shipmates, family members and friends signed up for the reunion. Check out the
list below! Already about 1/3 of the rooms available have been reserved! We just received word from our event
planner that Covid restrictions continue to be lifted in our nation's capitol region, and plans are most, if not all, mask
restrictions should be gone in April. This is encouraging news, and hopefully as restrictions are lifted we'll see an
uptick in the number of planned attendees. It's shaping up to be another great event, so don't wait too long, get your
registration in now. Cheers!

It's here! Click the link below to get the official TCHVA Reunion Brochure for our event scheduled for 21 - 26 June
2022! It promises to be another wonderful event, full of sites, sounds and those glorious sea stories to share with
former shipmates, friends and families. Hope to see you there. All the info you'll need to register, reserve your
hotel room at a discounted rate, and sign up for the great tours is enclosed. It
seems like forever since we last met in Rapid City SD in June 2019. Sadly we had to postpone the event last year due
to the Covid Pandemic, but we're moving forward again. The brochure is ready for you to download/print/complete and
mail. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you make your hotel reservations ASAP. While the brochure contains a link to the
hotel, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you contact the hotel directly for reservations
at 703-793-3366 and tell them you are a member of the Thomas C. Hart reunion group to get the $119.00 (plus tax) rate,
a bargain if you're familiar with the DC area!. DO NOT ASK FOR RESERVATIONS DESK, but
when you call ask for either the Special Events desk or Group Sales desk. A set number of rooms
are available at the discount rate, but the sooner we fill those up, the more the hotel can reserve for our event. Reservations MUST BE MADE prior to 21 May 2022 to guarantee space and rate.
As an added bonus, the discounted rate is also good for the 3 days prior to and after the event dates, a great deal for anyone
looking to extend their visit and explore the multitude of sites in the DC and Northern VA area. When
looking at the brochure, the only REQUIRED cost is the Registration Fee of $80.00/person. This fee covers the banquet
(make sure to make your meal selection), the hospitality suite with food and beverages, as well as our event planner fee.
As for the tours, sign up for as many as possible - it will be a busy time in our Nation's Capitol, and note the special dedication
of the TCH Commemorative Placque at the US Navy Memorial during Tour #3 on Friday, 24 June 2022. All are invited to
attend. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Garry Collins at garrysea@gmail.com or
go directly to our event planner's web site https://www.acompletereunion.com/contact-us. Please
consider attending and reach out to former shipmates and encourage them to join or renew their memberships and join in the
Reunion celebration. If you've attended in the past, you know it's a blast!
