USS Hancock Newsletter

Presidents Message

Greetings, fellow shipmates. Happy holidays, with Thanksgiving just behind us and Christmas coming soon. For me, Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for all we have. That includes our great

association of over 500 members who love and support each other. Here I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

On what’s new, on today November 15, I signed our contract for our 2027 Hancock Reunion to be held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Warwick, RI. The dates are 9/24/27 to 10/1/27. The room rates are

$149.00 per night, which includes a hot breakfast and free parking. For the first time, your association will be providing a per night room subsidy of $50.00 per night for five nights at the hotel. This will

reduce the room cost for those five nights from $149.00 per night to

$99.00 per night.

2027, seems like a long time away. But, I find that as I grow older, time seems to be going faster. See you at our September 2027 reunion.

Calm Seas and Fair Winds, Dan Powell
