  Potential Site for 2014 Reunion

One idea is to have the reunion at a site other than New Jersey. A good weather place like Florida comes to mind. One really nice place is the Don Cesar Beach Resort in St. Petersburg Beach , Florida.   The St. Petersburg Airport  and the Tampa Airport are nearby. Pictures are below. Contact us on what do you think of this idea (see contact information on this page). It is all very preliminary at this point. The rates per night in October, for example, are $169 for two adults in a room.
