                       The dates for the 25th Indiana Vietnam Veterans Reunion are September,

                        13, 14, 15, and 16, 2007.  Note that the official opening ceremony is

                        scheduled for Thursday this year.  You will want to keep this in mind as

                        you make reservations to rent your golf carts.  Also, please note the

                        following:   *** Due to the greater number of golf carts being reserved

                        this year, Diana asks that you plan to pick up the golf cart by 9 am. on

                        the day your golf cart rental is scheduled to begin.  If you do not pick up

                        your cart by the appointed time, then the golf cart may be rented out to

                        someone else.  At this time, over 300 carts are scheduled to be delivered.

                        Diana and Don have been, and continue to be very generous in working

                        with us. So PLEASE HONOR THE REQUEST!****
