Instructions for the Reunion Sign-up Sheet
Your 2016 Reunion Sign-up Sheet is above. Please follow
the instructions below. It is a calculating form in a pdf
format. Please remember to indicate all your credits as a POSITIVE number.
Here are the instructions for the Calculating Reunion Sign-up Sheet.- You must fill out this calculating "Reunion Sign-up Sheet" on your computer and then print a copy.
- Fill in your name or nickname or whatever you desire. This is how your name badge will read. Your name will be automatically carried over to page 2.
- Indicate
your ship or squadron. If you indicate a squadron on this line we will
try and capture the logo for your name badge. Otherwise, please indicate
FDR or Midway. We do have members from USS Theodore Roosevelt and USS
Hancock.
- Please indicate your division, squadron, marine detachment or department.
- Years of Service should be the years you were aboard your ship or in your squadron.
- Spouse Name should read the way your spouse desires his or her name to read on their name badge.
- Hometown can be anything you desire.
- If
your guest is not your spouse, his or her name should be indicated
here, first and last name, as they wish, for their name badge. Guests
who are not members yet can also fill out a separate Reunion Sign-up
Sheet. If your guests are members and have their own membership numbers they should
have their own Reunion Sign-up Sheet.
- Membership
Number should read as it is on your ID Card. If your spouse is also a
member, please indicate his or her membership number too. If you do not
have, or know, your membership number then leave it blank. Please do not
guess. All membership numbers will automatically be carried over to page 2.
- Logo-we can only
put one logo on the name badge, so for those members who served on both
ships or in more than one squadron, please indicate which one you want.
- Registration Fees -
All attendees should indicate the number of persons attending the
reunion no matter what day they arrive. Even if you have already paid
your preliminary-registration fees please, indicate that amount here. It will be
subtracted at the bottom.
- After
you enter the number of persons you may hit the "TAB" key twice and the
cursor will be on the next item. You can continue to hit the "TAB" or
use your mouse to go to the next item.
- Very Important Do
not put any figures after the equal = sign. The form will calculate
that column for you. All that you have to indicate is the number of
persons attending each venue.
- Decide
on what venues you want to see and indicate the number of persons who
want to attend. If only one person is attending any particular venue in
your group, then indicate just 1. As you put the cursor on your next
selection you will see the form calculating for you, continue until you
enter all the amounts on your "Reunion Sign-up Sheet." Leave the line
blank if you are not choosing the venue.
- For
the banquet line please indicate your desired meal to the RIGHT of the
preferred item. The form will NOT calculate the total number of persons
attending the banquet so you must enter the total amount on that line.
- The SUB TOTAL line should be calculating as you enter the amounts of persons going to each venue.
- If
you make a mistake or change your mind about any particular venue just
put your cursor on the line you want to change and hit the delete key.
You can also change any number by putting the cursor on the line and
hitting the correct key.
VERY IMPORTANT - YOU MUST ENTER ALL CREDITS AND DISCOUNTS AS A POSITIVE NUMBER
- CONSECUTIVE
REUNION DISCOUNT - If you attended the reunion in Seattle you
are entitled to a consecutive reunion discount. If you did not attend
the reunion in Seattle you are not entitled to take any
discount on this line even if you attended all prior reunions before
Seattle. ALL IN POSITIVE NUMBERS.
- CREDIT
ON THE BOOKS - We publish a list every year of all members who have
credits on the books.
Please indicate that amount here.
- If your spouse or anybody else who you sponsored is
attending the 2015 reunion, you may also take a $5.00 credit for each
member you sponsored. They must have a membership number for you to take
this credit. If you take advantage of the 5% discount for signing up
early, paying your fees and send in your "Reunion Sign-up Sheet" with
funds postmarked by October 31, 2015, you may manually calculate 5% of
the SUB TOTAL OF ALL PAGES line and indicate that amount here. So, in
essence, you could possibly have more than one credit on this line. You
must total them all manually and indicate that amount.
- To
be very clear, indicate the total of (A) all the credits you have on
the books (B) the $5.00 for each member you sponsored and (C) the 5%
discount for signing up early. You may itemize all your discounts
anywhere on the form so we will know what you are taking. If you don't
take all the credits that you are entitled to we will see that you get
credit and issue you a credit voucher in your packet at the reunion. ALL IN POSITIVE NUMBERS
- LESS
PREPAID REGISTRATION FEES - here is where you indicate your prepaid
registration fees; that amount must be divisible by $15.00. Prepaid
Registration Fees means the amount you paid at the last reunion or funds
that you sent in previously. ALL IN POSITIVE NUMBERS
- The
GRAND TOTAL line should calculate for you if you entered everything
correctly. It is a good idea to recheck all the figures to be sure the
form calculated correctly. This is the amount that should be sent in to
the office with your Reunion Sign-up Sheet.
- You cannot save a copy of this form with your information filled in. You can only save a Blank Copy on your computer.
- After
you have entered all your information on the form, which is still on
the computer, then print it out and save a copy for your records.
- If
you end up with a negative number because you have more credit on the
books than your expenses, we will issue you a credit voucher at the reunion.
- If
you still have your credit voucher from last year and did not take it
or didn't take the entire amount, please indicate that amount here and
send in a copy of your voucher from last year.
As always, if you have any questions please call the office at 859
689 7001. We are here to help you and we want to help you. We issued
many credit vouchers last year because many members paid too much.
Please wait until the credit list is published before you send this
Reunion Sign-up Sheet in.
