Reunion Itinerary/Activities
All costs for activities are included in registration fee. The Garden Inn Hotel is located in the Olive Branch Business District so there are several stores near the hotel to suit your needs.
If you choose not to stay at the reunion host hotel, you will be responsible for your own transportation throughout the reunion.
Also, there will be a van provided to transport arrivals from the train station, bus terminal and the Memphis International Airport to the Garden Inn Hotel only. The van will be available for reunion activities only. If you want to see the Memphis city night life, feel free to rent a vehicle at your leisure. For your safety, please remain in contact with at least one of our Memphis committee members on your outings.
