Our "latinum celebration" will be held on October 11, 2008 at 7:00pm at the Sheraton Eatontown Hotel in Eatontown, New Jersey. Come join us as we celebrate 20 years of fun and fandom with folks from all across the region and beyond.

The cost for this event is $50.00 and includes a three course buffet dinner, coffee, tea and soft drinks. A cash bar will also be available. Entrees include Chicken Saltimbocca, Sliced Beef Sirloin and Vegetarian Lasagna. Assorted salads, side dishes and dessert will be served as well.

As a special added bonus, since there will not be a regional conference next year, the USS Challenger has secured the hotel's state-of-the-art Amphitheatre for a Region 7 Meeting at 1:00pm. Attendees of the party can use this opportunity to schmooze, catch up and discuss regional business in a comfortable face-to-face setting. However, no one will be allowed to take
advantage of this meeting without having registered for the dinner event and there will also be no "meeting-only" option offered.

The Sheraton Eatontown is convenient to the Garden State Parkway, the Jersey Shore and Interstate 195. The hotel offers amenities such as Free In-Room high speed internet, an indoor pool, exercise facility and two restaurants. If you wish to stay the night, the hotel is offering our attendees a special rate of $115.00 per room, per night.

To reserve a room, please call 732-542-6500 and ask for the USS Challenger rate. Rooms are available on a first come, first serve basis, so please be sure to reserve soon!

We invite members from the region to enjoy some holiday fun with us as we kick off the season.

We'll be holding an optional Grab Bag and this year we decided that those who take part bring an ornament between $10 and $15. NO STAR TREK ornaments because many of us have them for our collection already.

We're asking everyone to bring 3 dozen cookies, and bring along $10 for pizza/food. Feel free to bring some of your favorite holiday CDs or tapes. We'll have a boom box to play some music to get us in the mood.

Donations for unwrapped toys for our annual area toy drive will also be warmly accepted. For more information visit our Calendar of Events, or contact Adm. Bob Vosseller at co@usschallenger.org.
