Dragoo Family Association Reunions

2010 reunion is less than a month away!

Every two years, Dragoo Family Association descendants and their families gather together for a reunion. Members spend several days making new friends, catching up with old friends, swapping stories, trading information, conducting DFA business, eating good food, sight-seeing in the host city. A good time is had by all! Recent reunions have been held in San Antonio, Texas (2000); Sacramento, California (2002); St. Louis, Missouri (2004), Colorado Springs (2006) and Salt Lake City (2008).

Volunteers are merrily working on plans for the 2010 reunion which will be held in Omaha, Nebraska on September 16 - 19, 2010 at the Doubletree Hotel, 1616 Dodge St., Omaha, Nebraska 68102. Hotel reservations can be made on-line at: www.doubletree.com or by telephoning 1.800.222.TREE. The quoted room rate is $109 per night, plus taxes [reservation code is "GOO"]. This rate is available 3 days before and 3 days after the event. Complimentary parking for registered guests is in Central City Parking Garage only, based on availability. Parking in the attached First National Bank Parking Garage is $7.00 per day. This is a three-star first class hotel in downtown Omaha. Eppley Airport is the metro area's transportation hub and there is a shuttle available to the hotel.

The registration deadline for the reunion fees only has been extended until September 10. After September 10, the late registration fees apply and the rate goes from $15 to $27. This does not apply to room reservations or the banquet fee.
