Following is the current agenda for the 2018 Gathering (Wednesday, July 25 - Sunday, July 29, 2018. 

We have reserved a block of rooms at the Staybridge Suites

Staybridge Suites Cincinnati North
8955 Lakota Drive West, West Chester, Ohio 45069
Main Desk - 513-874-1900 Fax - 513-874-7192

The Group Code is CVR and is bookable online. The reserved rooms are (i) studio queen, $149.99; (ii) one bedroom king, $189.99; and (iii) two doubles, $189.99. All suites have a full kitchen with refrigerator, icemaker, microwave, stovetop and dishwasher.

If anyone wants a handicap accessible one bedroom queen or a two bedroom/two bath suite, rates are set-up in the reserved block, but with no inventory. Call the hotel directly to book the accessible or 2 bedroom suites.

We recommend that if you think you may attend this year’s gathering, please book your room early.  There is a Jazz Festival in Cincinnati over the course of 6 weekends, and arranging for hotel accommodations was a bit more difficult than we had anticipated.  You can cancel without penalty with >72 hour notice.  It will also help in arranging tours and meals if we have a reasonable estimate of how many will join us.

The hotel has a full hot breakfast buffet in the lobby.

Below are the tentative plans which we will update you on as more information becomes available:

Wednesday evening 7/25 

Meet and greet at the hotel; grilled hamburgers and hot dogs dinner including salad bar, soda and tea provided by the hotel to registered guests; beer and wine available for $.50/glass. Hotel serves from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. We will target 6:00 pm to eat as a group.

Thursday 7/26  

Dinner at Rivertown Brewery & Barrel House in Monroe, Ohio. http://rivertownbrewery.com/monroe/.  Weather permitting, we will be outside on the patio.  The patio is reserved for just our group.  Due to the size of the group, dinner will be ordered from their family style menu. Alcoholic beverages will be available separately.

Saturday 7/28  

Saturday morning breakfast buffet at the hotel.

National Museum of the U.S. Air Force (Wright Patterson Air Force Base)

http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/

Entry to the museum is Free.  There is a great deal to see there, so we anticipate people will want to spend several hours there.  There are places to have lunch at the museum.
