The 30th Last Annual Crusader Ball

F8 Crusader challenge coin

LACB30

Sep 26-30, 2018, San Diego Marriott, La Jolla

LACB30 is underway! Early arrivals begin checking in starting at noon on Wednesday, the 26th. Events are planned, the schedule is firm, and great conversation and fantastic SWAG awaits. Let the good times roll.

The F-14 Association is also having its reunion at the Marriott at the same time. Since they don't have as many registrants as we do, we've invited them to hang out in the ready room as well as attend our events. Please welcome them and let the bar bragging begin!

The Ready Room: The ready room is on the 15th floor in the Presidential Suite. When you get off the elevator, turn right, quick left and it's about half way down the hall on your right. There will be signs to guide you.

Hotel Parking: Self parking is to your right as you approach the front of the hotel. If you are just coming for the day, push the button and take a ticket. Then you need to get a voucher card from Mary in the ready room. When you leave, you insert the voucher along with your credit card and you are only charged $8. (If Mary is not available, you can get the card at the front desk in the lobby.) Bear in mind there are no in-and-out privileges with this one day fee.

If you are a hotel guest, the first time you enter, take the ticket to get in. After you register, from then on use your hotel key card to operate the parking gate. The daily self parking fee of $12 will be added to your hotel bill. You have unlimited in and outs.
