Well how time flies. It is now time to start thinking about our 18 th 5th Maintenance Battalion Reunion. At our last reunion in Buffalo / Niagara Falls. Wanted it to be west of the Mississippi to be fair to everyone. We voted on going to Colorado Springs, Co. This will be our second time there. We held our 3rd reunion there 16 years ago. We have chosen the Academy Hotel Colorado Springs. It is a 4 1/2 star hotel out of 5. You can enjoy a meal at Its bar and grill, they have a complimentary breakfast the mornings, free WIFI , free parking, and much more. For the ladies there is a indoor heated pool. Don't forget your swim suits.We have a block of rooms for the reunion with a rate of $109.00 plus tax these rates which will be good 2 days prior and 2 days after our reunion. You must call the reservations desk at 719-598-5770 and book your room under the group block name "5th Maintenance Battalion Reunion" to make your personal reservations. If you would like to make a donation to the reunion. It would be greatly appreciated.

Because of the cost of everything going up the registration fee will $70.00 this year. Five dollars more than last

Year sorry about that. It is to early for a itinerary, but we are going to Pikes Peak . Remember the Rapid City reunion and the chuck

wagon dinner and show.. We want to do it again, plus we are looking to do other things. The hotel is within a 15-

minute drive to the US Air Force Academy and Garden of the Gods, and 9 miles from Glen Eyre Castle..Lets not

forget our banquet on the last night. always a good time. Be sure to bring a at least 20.00 dollar item for the for the raffle or something larger to auction off. Remember these Reunions have been more fun as the years go by

So mark the dates down on your calendar check in on Sunday Sept. 10th and check out Thursday

Sept.14th.Hope to see you there.
