Dear Proud to Be ‘83,

For the passing of the 28^th Anniversary of the graduation of the Class of 1983, I send you one single thought, one sole idea, written in red on every beachhead from here to Tokyo…Beat Navy in Washington DC on December 10th!

To support this effort, or at least to have a good time, the Class of ’83 Army-Navy Tailgate Committee has met a few times already and they are interested in getting preliminary numbers to continue their planning.  You will need to order tickets next month anyway.  The committee would like to know the following (you are not committing to anything just yet):

1.      Are you interested in a room in the class hotel in Old Town Alexandria?

2.      Are you interested in attending the Women of ’83 Reception on Thursday and Brunch on Friday (Ladies)?

3.      Are you interested in attending the Class Remembrance Dinner on Friday?

4.      Are you interested in attending the Class Tailgate before the game?

5.      Are you interested in attending the Class Victory party in the hospitality suite?

6.      Would you or your company be interested in sponsoring our class hospitality suite?

Here is a tentative list of events thus far:

·       October/November - Tom Fish is estimating the cost of brewing 10 cases of Class of 83 Ale, including printing special labels, and would appreciate donations to the cause.  Washington DC area classmates are welcome to join the mid-October brewing and/or the early November bottling activities.

·       8 Dec 11, Thursday – Women of ‘83 Night in the hotel hospitality suite

·       9 Dec 11, Friday – Women of ’83 Brunch, Class Remembrance Dinner, before/after dinner open house in the hotel hospitality suite

·       10 Dec 11, Saturday – Tailgate, Army Beats Navy in Football, victory party in the hotel hospitality suite.  We will be taking a collection for the Wounded Warrior Program.
