 BUSMVA REUNIONS This page is dedicated to a review of past reunions and a glimpse at plans for future reunions.
The years between our Berlin reunions we host the reunions in the areas of eastern, western and central U.S. All of our reunions in the U.S. feature a “Dancing Bear Club”, which is a large room dedicated to providing a gathering place for our members and guests. We have tables and bulletin boards for members to post photos, albums and other items of Berlin memorabilia. The opening night of o
August 4 – August 8, 2011 Hyatt Fair Lakes Hotel, Fairfax, VA. This year’s reunion will be held just outside Washington, DC in Fairfax VA. The hotel is next door to a large shopping center and for Civil War buffs, we are just down the Road from Manassas Battlefields with the Hotel located on a Civil War battlefield. We will have a Dancing Bear Room and we will be allowed to bring our own Alcohol beverage for personal consumption. Plus we will have a Bartender from the hotel that will be serving drinks at a discount price. There will be a Shuttle that will take you to the Metro System that runs every half hour from the Hotel. The Metro will take you to the center of Washington DC. It takes about 45 minutes to get to the Mall on the Metro once the train pulls out of Vienna (the last stop on the Orange line.) The cost of the hotel is $85.00 per night. The Hotel will have (20) room’s available one night prior to the reunion and one night after the reunion at the same price. Remember only (20) rooms are available before and after. Please make your reservations at the Hotel as soon as possible. We only have a block of 150 rooms, but we may be able to apply for additional rooms (6) months in advance. We will be able to see if we need additional rooms at that time. We are liable for the block of rooms that we request. Please remember this reunion will be held over the weekend this year. EVENTS:

Berlin is our reunion destination every four years. We were there in 1998, 2002, 2006 and 2010. The Steglitz International Hotel, which is convenient to downtown shopping and easy access to both the U-bahn and S-bahn stations, is our host sites every reunion. We normally have an add-on tour after the reunion, in 2010 it was a trip to the Normandy beaches and Paris.
ur reunion is a plated dinner hosted by BUSMVA. The final night is a dinner/dance and is a function that members wear a coat and tie. Many of the members wear tux or their dress blues. We normally have tour activities on three days of the reunion and the remainder of the time is spent in the Dancing Bear Club or activities of your own choosing. The important fact is that nobody is a stranger for very long. Being a former Berliner makes you a distinct member of a very special fraternity. People discover old comrades and make new friends.
