Just a reminder-we need everyone who is thinking of attending the 2018 meet to register ASAP. Rooms being held are limited! And this being the nicest hotel on Staten Island-it WILL fill up fast!. You can always cancel without a penalty by the August 13 deadline. Believe me when I say there will be no rooms left by then. Again dates are Thursday September 13-17 for the meet. You can add two days before and/or two days after the meet at the club's $139 plus taxes a night rate!

Well we are moving along- Don, Ken, Brian, Frank and Bill along with us have booked 7 of the 15 rooms being held. That leaves 8 left on what we were allowed to hold. So, if you are planning on coming-NOW is the time to book. The Hilton only need your credit card number to HOLD the room-they will not CHARGE your card until you show up and stay. You can cancel up until they close our booking without a penalty (actually I think you have even longer to cancel, but I will have to check that out again,. Charlie and I remember her saying up to a week before the meet-you could cancel). If you check the hotel out on any of the hotel sites they will tell you there are only one or two rooms still available on the dates we will be there. So please book now-we would hate for any of you to miss this NYC/Staten Island Meet!

Well your Pres and the First Lady Frances has a reservation booked. See you in September. Does anybody know if it's worth renting a car, or would it be better to find a shuttle service from Newark, NJ airport? Plenty of time, but just checking.

Mike - the intro for the hotel says they offer a complimentary shuttle from Newark Liberty airport so that should be the cost effective way to do it if you don't need a car. Here's a link to the specifics:

I contacted the Hilton to make sure the shuttle was included. Here is Lacqua's response, "We offer complimentary service to and from Newark Airport and the Staten Island Ferry. Overnight guests are eligible for these services. The shuttle books on a first come/first serve basis.
When you have your confirmed travel itinerary, please call our Front Desk to schedule any shuttles needed. They will then check availabilty and book said shuttle.You can reach our Front Desk by calling (718) 477-2400, Ext 0"
I have also checked on rooms booked. IF you have not booked a room for the meet you are treading on thin ice. There are only a few rooms left of the ones we were able to hold for this event.After they are booked you are at the mercy of what is left in the hotel. Since this IS the nicest hotel on SI, they will be booked solid by August (if not before). So, if you are thinking of coming- BOOK NOW! You can always cancel before the meet without a penalty. And they are NOT going to charge your credit card until you arrive.

Thanks Peg for checking on this for me, I appreciate it. That's probably the way Frances and I will go, since there is no real need for a rental car. Everybody, you heard her, get those reservations in, even if there is a possibility you will be going! You can always cancel prior to the event!. I spoke with Ed recently and it is going to be a great event for everyone you won't want to miss.

Hi folks:
Sorry that Mary Carolyne and I will not be able to make the meet. We have a Convention every year that is the same week. I would really have liked to attend.
I am sure you will all have a great time.
