Lodging:
Marriott: We did not set aside a block of rooms, but our Event Manager, Erin, has reserved 10 two queen-size bed rooms for $139.00 ++. She will hold these rooms until 30 days prior to check in. Everyone's on their own to book a hotel room. They do have handicap rooms. You will find the Reservation Link on the email to book your room. Phone number: 515/267-1500.
Other options (very close to the Marriott):
Transportation:
If you are flying into Des Moines and staying at the Marriott, you can be transported to and from the airport at no charge. You can call the hotel when you arrive and they will send the shuttle, which can take 30 minutes or more. Our Event Manager, Erin Weaver, said if you contact her ahead of time, and give her your flight information, they will have the shuttle there when you arrive. Call the hotel at 515/267-1500 and ask for Erin. It says on the hotel information that the shuttle is only available during the week, but Erin said if you are flying on Sunday, the shuttle will take you to the airport if you make an arrangement ahead of time.
The Marriott has a shuttle that will only transport within a 10-mile radius of the hotel. The charge is $20 for a round trip to take people to Jordan Creek Mall. If you decide on Friday night you want to go to Ruth Chris Steak House, they can transport you if you make a reservation with the hotel.
Pictures:
We are not hiring a professional photographer to take a class picture. We hope all that come will take pictures and will post them on our website.
Contact information:
All of our communication will be by email. If you know a classmate that does not have email, but would like to come to the Reunion, let us know and we will send them the information. For questions, please fill out the contact form: CONTACT
The committee: Sue Lynn Faller, Edgar Smith, Mardelle Abram Oakley, and Sue Laster Sutphin. Hope to see you in October.
