Fox Division News ---Branson Update---Spring 2003

Since my February 25th  "solicitation" to our on-line fellows, Cadden and Spears have registered to join Holman, Lane, Page, Pinson, Rainboth, Richards, Ray, Schneider, and Spencer for what is going to be another exciting gathering of the Fox Division.
It's not too late and I'm encouraging those still undecided to get on board. 
 
Settle Inn Resort & Conference Center---Monday, September 21 through Wednesday, September 23, 2003---Rate is $70.07 including tax and deluxe continental  breakfast--Call Judy Murphy at 1-800-677-6906 to make your reservation. 
Be sure to mention you're with the Fox Division.  That rate is good for the immediate day(s) before and after the official reunion dates if you wish a longer stay, and provided rooms are still available at that time.  If you want more information on the Settle Inn,
Show Guide--Branson is of course loaded with numerous stage shows: variety; music; comedy; 50's; country, and other attractions. Almost overwhelming when it's time to decide which to see or do. To help you out, we're advising the Branson Chamber of Commerce of the addresses of those registering at the Settle Inn. The Chamber will mail you the Branson Show Guide listing all shows and activities including prices, show times, and phone numbers. Because of the diversity of interests and events available, we have committed everyone to just one, (see below), so please keep availability for that.  Otherwise you have flexibility to pick and choose whatever shows you wish to see as you please. Additionally, Sheri will be coordinating a possible excursion on the Branson Scenic Railway. But she needs your input to put it together. If this might interest you, please call her soon at 816-331-0292.
 
Finale event---we have committed to a traditional Fox reunion-ending  event. This year we'll board the Branson Belle Showboat for a cruise with dinner and a lively show.  Set aside 1515 to 1830 on Wednesday afternoon for this special occasion.  Cost per person after our military and group discount is $36 including tax and gratuity.  However, for our paid members only we plan to offer a "rebate" from our treasury surplus, similar to how we handled our Tucson excursion into Mexico.  Depending on how many join us in Branson, which will determine the total group cost, the rebate should range upward from a likely minimum of 50%. Good deal for our paid-ups!  ($15 to Carl Ray will do it). If anyone does not want to participate in the Showboat excursion please let me know shortly as we must do a deposit.
 
As always, if you have any questions or concerns let me know:
e-mail; mail; or phone (989-652-2086).
Roland (Moose) Schneider
 
 
 PS--we'll be updating those signing in for Branson as we move closer, but this IS the last newsletter to those Fox not registered for Branson, or who have not paid the $15 dues, or who have not communicated their interest in this or future Fox Division activities.
