Erie, Pennsylvania FAM Tour, Seminar, and Town Hall Meeting - May 18-20
All reunion group leaders and planners are invited to a familiarization tour sponsored by Alliance member VisitErie, in Erie, Pennsylvania. Meals and lodging will be provided free of charge for members of Alliance military reunion groups. The seminar attendance fee is $45 for one person, or $89 for two. Some scholarships may be available.
If you've ever been to this city on the shores of Lake Erie, you know what a nice place it is, and how friendly it is to military reunions. On the other hand, if you haven't been there yet, we know that your first visit will reveal it as an "undiscovered gem" as a possible reunion site.
Erie is in the northwest corner of Pennsylvania, at the intersection of I-79 and I-90. Its airport is served by three major airlines. Other major airports within a two hour drive are Cleveland, Buffalo, and Pittsburgh.

Registration begins Tuesday afternoon, May 18, 2010. From then through Thursday afternoon you'll get to see the sights of Erie and experience the comforts of its hotels and other attractions. You WILL have a lot of fun while doing so.
In conjunction with the FAM tour, the Alliance will hold a Seminar and Town Hall Meeting covering subjects of interest to military reunion leaders and planners.
