.
Dates:12 Oct to 15 Oct
Place: Williamsburg, Virginia
Eventa: 3 Golf outings and social events
Our approach to this outing is as follows
· This is not a full blown “mini” but we want to encourage non players to come as shopping and historic opportunities abound here in Williamsburg. KISS is our planning approach.
· The golf events will be user friendly for those of all abilities. Wives are encouraged to play. There will be three organized events with prizes plus two additional ones for those who want to fill all their time with golf., One will be able to pick and choose which events they want to play. If enough players come we will break prizes into two groups. There will be no “hidden betting expenses”
· We will try to get all of the local classmates to attend the socials
· We are trying to make this a fun time without breaking the bank.
We are still looking for a flagship hotel with the two essentialsrooms under $100 and a big bar (for obvious reasons). Dinner on Saturday will be a group event. The three main golf events will range from $75 to $99 each. This includes prize money.
I need a $25 per person deposit by 7 July. Please indicate if you plan to stay at the hotel and/or if you plan to golf. This is not binding but we need a better head count for contracts that we need to sign. Please send to

The important part of the speech follows:
"There is one item of business to take care of today. Apparently some members of the Corps of Cadets are still on restriction for minor offenses. And I guess you're looking for a little compassion. Such matters are to be decided by the President himself, and so he and I had a discussion about it. He took the strong view that we ought to be lenient. Me, I could have gone either way. (Laughter.) But the President is in charge, so at his direction, I hereby grant amnesty for all cadets on restriction for minor conduct offenses. (Applause.) Now here's the fine print: For the definition of "minor offenses," you've got to check with General Hagenbeck. (Laughter.)"
