Hi Joannie. I'm glad to hear that your son will PIR with y son on November 3rd. Sorry, I am still very new to this and I don't know anything about the hotel door decorating and the meet and greet. I tried responding about 3 times last night to your post but not sure if you got it because it was not showing up?

Where ever you stay Hotel that is you let them know you have a loved one graduating from BC and they decorate the door for you so when you get back to the room it will be a surprise for your New Sailor, you also may decorate it. The meet in Greet is near the Wal mart, it is fun need to RSVP, the reason is because you will be sitting with families who have their loved one in the same Div. as yours, so they need to account for how many tables they will be needing. take money because they have a vendor who sells shirts, Flags, sweatshirts, ect. and they also have a Bar, and there will be a lot of raffles with beautiful baskets that people will be donating. Sarge and wife are Beautiful people he will give you a lot of info prior to PIR.
