The hard part is already done. In this issue are the names, addresses and phone numbers of 340 former Half Moon sailors. All it takes is one person to pick a date and a place and send out a note to those in his area and the rest should more or less take care of itself. Keep costs to a minimum and you should be able to attract a good turnout.
Send out your proposed date and location anywhere from 3 to 6 months in advance. You may want to include people in an adjacent state or area if it makes sense from a numbers perspective. What you may not realize is how many of you there are in your area. Check out these numbers:
| Region or State | # of Shipmates | Region or State | # of Shipmates |
|---|---|---|---|
| New England | 36 | Pennsylvania | 50 |
| New York | 44 | Del., MD, VA | 33 |
