Military Police Vietnam Sentry Dog Alumni Reunion Information Page

June 16th. 2010

To all our MP Dog Handlers of the 18th. MP Brigade.

        We are really rocking now. Our members Pete & Lupe Moreno 212th. and Ray "Tex" Rogers 981st. have got us a real great deal. We will be using and staying at El Tropicano Hotel. The Hospitality room is a conference room as big as Texas tradition. It faces the San Antonio River, and has a Veranda/Patio so you can sit outside by the river walk. The banquette room will be a good sized one too. The River Barges make a stop just a few steps across the river where all can go on a tour, or use it as a taxi for a few bucks around $6.00, that's if you know your way around. In front of the hotel a downtown trolley will pick you up and take you around town, for less then a buck and a half. So there is no need to look around for other hotels. El Tropicano is the Place to wake up in and enjoy the Texas Morning Sun!

       The committee members will be staying there for the 3 day function. We feel it's worth it, and the oldest VFW Post in Texas, Post 76 is just a few blocks away and accessible by river barge. They usually have some kind of party going on.

       Places to visit, will be (El Mercado) The Market place, The Alamo, La Villita, The Hemis Fair Plaza, The River Mall and many other sites. You will get a map when you get here and you can go from there. You will want to come to San Antonio for all your other vacations. Remember, Texas is the Greatest Country in the World! - 18th, 19th, & 20th of March, 2011


       We are going to set the registration at $100.00 dollars per person, so again we ask that you all participate in bringing what you can for the silent auction which will be managed by members James D. and Debbie Heard 212th. We are still working on more surprises to make your stay a comfortable one. We will be working on the registration form in the coming days and will mail them to you as soon as we can. Ray Rogers will be the point of contact for all registrations. We prefer it that way to keep a good head count and for planning the meal. Even though we need a head count you can still register when you arrive but try to let us know how many will be in your group if possible. - 18th, 19th, & 20th of March, 2011

       The room rates will be $106.00 a night, and the price stands for two days before and two days after the re-union. Parking is $9.00 a day/night. You will enjoy the tropical setting of the hotel with tropical birds and other animals, there is a swimming pool on top of the hotel if anyone wishes to sun themselves, The hotel can say it better than us, so go into their site and see more of the hotel.

The hotel does not have a 800 number. The desk number for reservations: (210) 223-9461, Fax: (210) 223-9267. Tell them that you are with the 18th. M.P. Sentry Dogs Alumni reunion group, to receive the proper room rates.
