and complimentary cocktails each evening from 1730 to 1930.  The room rates are as follows:

$109.00 per night – king bed suite
$119.00 per night – double bed suite

Make your reservations by calling 1-800-362-2779 or calling the hotel directly 1-410-850-0747
before 1 September 2005.  Be sure to mention you are with the USS Wilson DDG-7 Navy
Reunion to get the negotiated room rate. 

The Embassy Suites shuttle can be accessed in the baggage claim area by using an airport
courtesy phone.  The hotel has a button that will ring directly to the Guest Services Agent at
the hotel.

The hospitality room will be open from 1200 to 1700 for registration.  Please be sure to stop by
and pick up your packet which will include your name tag, agenda, and all the info you will need
for the weekend.  There will be refreshments and friends waiting.  Registration fee is $25.00 to
cover the room charge and food/beer/sodas.

v     Friday, 7 October 2005

Friday morning we will depart the hotel via bus at 0930 for a tour to the United States Naval
Academy in Annapolis.  This tour is designed for those who participated in U.S. military
operations. Focuses on Naval Academy’s role in supplying officers and midshipmen in
various conflicts. Features include Chapel and crypt of John Paul Jones. This is part-walking,
part-audio visual presentation totaling 2.5 hours.  It will also include a stop at the gift shop.
$30.00 including bus transportation.

Since last year’s dinner cruise was a success, we have one planned for Friday evening in
Baltimore’s Inner Harbor.  The bus will leave the hotel about 1800 for the brief ride into
Baltimore so we can board our boat by 1900.  The buffet menu includes salad, soup,
crab, beef, fish, chicken, corn on the cob, pasta, rolls and butter, dessert, beer, wine,
soft drinks,  juices, tea, coffee.  $65.00 including bus transportation.  Cash bar will be
available.

v     Saturday, 8 October 2005

We have a limited number of tickets to the NAVY vs. Air Force football game so it will be
first come, first serve.  These tickets will include bus transportation to and from the game
leaving the hotel around noon, returning around 1800.  $50.00 

For the people who do not wish to attend the game, there are several tours available in
the area.  Check out www.baltimore.org or www.washington.org for the details.  You can
make the reservations yourself or wait till you arrive at the hotel and see who else is doing
what.  Let us know if we can help.

A Saturday buffet dinner, 1900-2200, will be at the hotel featuring the Camden Yard menu of
green salad, fruit salad, soup, Prime Rib, Breast of Chicken, vegetables, potatoes, rolls and
butter, assorted desserts, tea, and coffee. Cash bar will be available.  After dinner there will
be a short program including a speaker or two and an auction / giveaway.  $55.00
