REUNION POSTPONED: We decided to postpone the 2022 SAFESIDE Reunion until Spring of 2023. The Moody AFB area is experiencing another surge in Covid virus infection rates, and we do not want to put our members, or members of the Moody AFB community, at increased risk of exposure to the virus. We are disappointed with yet another delay but look forward to a healthy and happy reunion in 2023. We are planning a new date now and will communicate that date as soon as it’s set.

Those who have already made hotel reservations should cancel them by calling the hotel or through the Holiday Inn web site (NOTE:  Try to have your confirmation number ready, whether calling or canceling on-line. It will expedite the process.).

Hamish Stewart-Smith, VP SAFESIDE Association
