Washtenaw's 2025 Reunion



April2025

This year's reunion will be held in Atlantic City, New Jersey at The Claridge Hotel September 22-26. Our host for this year's reunion is Sandy Weisman, with reunion chairman David Vicknair negotiating the details. The nightly room rate, registration fee and other reunion details will be posted when available. 


According to Wikipedia the Claridge is a historic hotel that first opened in 1930. It is very close to the Atlantic City boardwalk on the beach!

Additional Reunion Information:







 


The following has been our standard protocol for past reunions:


Silent Auction: As has been our tradition at previous reunions, there will be a silent auction at the Thursday evening banquet dinner. We ask that you donate an item from your home state (aprox $15 value suggested). Items from past reunions have included food items (wine, honey, dates, nuts, etc.), Navy memorabilia (hats, coins, silverware, and boatswain whistle, etc.) and craft items. This activity serves as an ice-breaker before the banquet dinner, as shipmates and their guests try to outbid one another for these items. Proceeds from the auction are used to help pay for the entertainment at the banquet, and to defray reunion expenses. We have held this auction many times and have found it to be an enjoyable event as well as a great way to obtain a keepsake from the reunion.


We will continue our policy of inviting crew members of other LSR9 ships, including the LSMR's and IFS-1, and crew of any other LST's to attend our reunions. The idea is to bolster our attendance so we can negotiate better hotel rates. Joining the USS Washtenaw County Veterans Association is encouraged but optional for guest ship crew members!


Plan Of The Day: Will be posted at the reunion!
