Package Descriptions
As the largest organization of Manhattan Project veterans and
family members of veterans, it has been our role in the 2005
Manhattan Project Family Reunion at Oak Ridge to use our extensive
resources to reach out to our members and others interested in this
important history and encourage them to attend this "once in a
lifetime" event. With close to 50,000 visitors a month to our
web site, we have an excellent forum with which to publicize this
historic reunion.
We found that there was a preponderance of
"things to do", but very few that would enable the veterans and
family members to spend some quality time reminiscing and meeting
old and new friends. Therefore, we have arranged for a number
of veteran-specific activities to augment the large number of tours
and exhibits planned by the other reunion organizers. These
veteran-specific activities are focused on the following groups of
attendees:
Manhattan Project veterans, military & civilian
Family members of veterans
Others who want to meet and talk with the veterans
Space for the above activities at the Doubletree Hotel are
extremely limited. Please purchase your tickets as soon as
possible.
Tickets for the K-25 Picnic on the Lawn ($15.00) may be purchased directly
from the Atomic Heritage Foundation.
Welcome Reception - Thursday - June 16, 2005 -
7:00 PM to 11:00 PM - Salon B & C - Doubletree Hotel: We will be
hosting a "meet & greet" reception to welcome reunion attendees. Heavy
hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar will be available. Please join us to
offer a special welcome to all Manhattan Project veterans in
attendance. The 3-day event is complex because of the number of choices
available. We will be able to help you more efficiently plan your time
while at Oak Ridge.
Manhattan Project Veteran's "Get Together" - Friday - June 17, 2005 - 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM -
Salon B & C - Doubletree Hotel:
This reception is designed to provide a comfortable place where
veterans and family members of veterans can meet and reminisce about
experiences shared while working on the Manhattan Project.
Veterans and others will have an opportunity to say a few words.
This should be one of the hi-lights of the weekend and everyone is
welcome!
