Tour Questions

Are you planning to attend the October 12 tour?
Will you join us for dinner Sunday evening at 6:30?
Do you need lodging for October 11?
If so, would you prefer a hotel room block or be interested in sharing a larger house with other alumni?
Would you be interested in traveling together in rented passenger vans, or would you prefer to drive/carpool in personal vehicles?

Once we have a better idea of numbers, we’ll finalize transportation, lodging options, and the remaining tour details.

It should be a fun opportunity to reconnect while getting a closer look at some of the industries and infrastructure important to Oregon’s South Coast.

We hope you can join us!
