Poolside rooms are available but they are somewhat smaller and further away from the main KSV areas.
If you want a room designated as "smoking" it is best to reserve early. However, the hotel advises that if you are told they are out of Tower smoking rooms, it is OK to accept a TOWER room listed as non-smoking and they will "accommodate."

(Must have completed both Hotel Registration and Reunion Registration to be eligible for prizes. So have faith and send them in early.

We are very pleased that Delta 1/26 Association will be holding their 2001 Reunion with us and look forward to meeting those we've not yet met and their families.

While plans continue to develop, your suggestions and ideas are still most important and appreciated. We also need raffle prizes and volunteers, but most of all we need YOU to BE THERE.
