Mentioning you’d like to reserve as part of the USS Scamp Reunion room block for Monday, June 12, 2023, for 4 nights, and would guarantee and pay with your own credit card. The rates are a substantial discount off typical rates for this week; $104.00 per room for single or double occupancy, plus 15% CT hotel tax. More than 2 occupants in a room would be $15.00 extra per guest. The Reunion Committee has allocated 14 Rooms with Two Queen Beds, 3 Standard King rooms, and 8 Deluxe Suite King rooms. If you need more, let me know. This block of rooms is available to book up to 30 DAYS prior to June 11.
Tours and Planned Events
We will once again have the Hospitality Room available with all the drinks and snacks that we are accustomed to with a few surprises. Thanks to Dean Cosentino for hosting the room and getting everything ready. Rod Stark has also been set up to provide guest speakers and to provide all videos and photos for this event. We will be posting updates on this website and both Facebook groups.
When you register you will receive a gift and all your tickets.
