33rd Annual Reunion
Colorado Springs, Colorado
August 12, 2024 - August 18, 2024
President's Message
Hey Wolfhounds, it is that time again to start making your plans for our Annual Reunion in Colorado Springs, Colorado Aug 12 to Aug 18, 2024.
We will be staying at the Embassy Suites. The Wolfhound room rate will be $155.00 per night plus tax (the government always get their share). This includes free parking, free wi-fi and free manager’s reception each evening. Breakfast for 2 people per room. They have provided a link on our website, www.wolfhoundpack.org, for your convenience. You must make your reservations before July 11, 2024 in order to guarantee the Wolfhound rate.
Our Hosts are Frankie & Connie Aguirre. They have put a lot of time and work to make this year’s very enjoyable. The tours this year on Tuesday will be the Air Force Academy, WWII Museum and the Garden of the Gods. On Wednesday, during the day, you’re on your own; however, we will be going to the Flying W Ranch for dinner. And on Thursday we will visit the Royal Gorge Railroad. If Tours are not your thing, there are many things to do on your own in Colorado Springs too. You can either Google it or ask the hotel staff or just relax in our Hospitality Room visiting old and new Wolfhound friends.
As always, we will have our buffet and auction on Friday; and we hope you will attend. Last year we had some “crazy” bidding. Make sure you make it to the auction. If you want to bring an item for the auction, please do. Saturday will be our Banquet with a guest speaker and other awards.
We hope you can attend to visit with your Wolfhound Brothers and Sisters from all eras.
Tom Harlan, President
