11:30 PM to 1:00 AM - Hospitality Room Open at the Radisson
Your transportation to and from Groton and accommodations while staying in Groton are not covered in the total cost.
Arrangements have been made with the Radisson in New London to serve as our base of operations for that weekend. We expect most attendees will book rooms there to be close to the main body of crewmembers, the Hospitality Room (which acts as our multifunction meeting room) and the Ship’s Store. We have negotiated our best deal for the cleanest and best value accommodations in the area. What we would like those of you that think you might want to come to the reunion, to go ahead and reserve a room right now. THERE IS NO COST OR OBLIGATION TO BOOKING A ROOM NOW AND IT MAY BE CANCELLED WITHIN 24 HRS OF THE REUNION WITH NO COST TO YOU. Booking the room now will lock in this price today. As you know, nothing gets cheaper with time.
We have reserved 50 rooms at these rates. If we get to 50 rooms 30 days prior to the reunion, we will be entitled to 20 more at the same rates. It would be in our best interest to make that 50 number early so that we may have all our rooms in the same area of the hotel (the Carver wing, so to speak!).
You need to mention that you are part of the
GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER REUNION
to get these group rates.
Rates:
Single: $109.00 Double: $109.00 Triple: $119.00 Quad: $129.00
Hotel room rates are subject to applicable state and local taxes currently at 12% per night in effect at the time of check-in.
In the event that some conferees wish to arrive before (up to three days) or stay after (up to three days) the conference for other meetings or personal reasons, these group rates will apply on a space available basis. During the time of this conference, the rate will be the lowest offered by the Radisson Hotel – New London, not including contracted rooms negotiated by the Radisson Hotel – New London for corporate frequent use. Any delegate who qualifies may take advantage of the negotiated conference rate.
The hotel will provide a minimum of the total room nights as follow:

SubBase and Submarine Tours
There are security issues for touring the base so you will need to have photo ID. Don't bring anything that airport security would have a problem with. We are hopeful that, besides touring the base, we can get a tour of a submarine. The minimum age for a child going on a submarine is 8yrs old. This tour is not for those who have difficulty walking long distances, climbing boat ladders or those confined to a wheelchair.

Cash Bar
Total cost: $160/person. This is the price if a $60 down payment is received prior to March 15, 2010. We require the balance to be paid 3 months in advance (by May 12, 2010) of the actual reunion date. We would also be delighted if you decided to simply pay in full before March 15, 2010 instead of making the two separate payments.
Extra bonus: to sending a payment before March 15, 2010 is that we will send you a digital copy of Dmitry Zubkov's book. He documented his time onboard submarines while serving as a captain in the Russian Navy. His Cold War perspective is fascinating.
If we do not receive your down payment and registration by March 15, 2010, the price will then be $200/person. There will be absolutely no registration after July 12, 2010.
Refund Policy: If you cancel 3 months before the reunion (by May 12, 2010), you will receive a full refund immediately. If you cancel after that deadline, you will have to wait until the account is settled after the reunion and we will assess the cost of cancellation at that time. Each situation will be carefully looked at to give the most fair refund amount.
