Again Dues are $25 for the Year AV7 Carl Susie Backersfield Ca AV7 AV7 Hillard Ellis Peggy Judy Letohatchee AL Independence Mo Trish and I had a wonderful Time in San Diego, we could not have done it all if it was not for the outstanding support we received from the Crew, as we did not have a local Host as we typically have. Trish and I took time to go down and check things out, This was on our own Dime. We also tried number new things we have not done before, one was the Hop-On & Hop off Trolley tour. Did you know that cost was $35 each for the Trolley Tour but you paid only $20 each,. We will try and do more events like this with the Association Picking up some of the cost, (That is what your dues are all about.) Trish & I also sponsored night at the ball park, we had some great seats and had great time even though we had to give away some tickets. We are still looking at finding some support for the Ships Historian for AV7 & AV12. See you in DC
