We are confirmed at the Hyatt Dulles on the dates above.  Plans are to open the Hospitality Suite on Thursday, October 2, buffet dinner Saturday night October 4 and the banquet dinner on Sunday, October 5. We have a block of rooms under the name of USS Benjamin Stoddert Association.  The room rate is $95.00 a night and from all our research, this is a real deal.  If there is any chance that you will be joining us, please make your reservations NOW.  We have been assured that this hotel will sell out and there will be NO last minute rooms, at any price.  Make your reservations ASAP and if your situation changes and you can't join us, we have also been assured that this hotel has a very liberal cancellation policy. Tours and menus are being worked on and will be posted as they become finalized.  When that is finished, the registration forms will be available on this site to print and mail to MRTR.  We are taking all suggestions on the message boards at the website.
