Our reunion was a success due to Pam and her staff. I was in charge of planning the reunion and was having a difficult time of coordinating things when I happened upon Gatherings Plus. What a wonderful service! Pam and her staff take all the work out of a reunion. They arranged for the reunion to be at a wonderful motel with a pool that allowed swimming yet room for visiting. All the food and extras and cleanup were taken care of. I didn't have to take care of any of the big or little details. The little touches that Gatherings Plus did meant so much (a theme that was evident in the hospitality room and the pool side table centerpieces, a cake with our reunion name on it that was delicious, the motel's marquee that welcomed our group, the evening show that was great for our reunion which included all ages, etc., etc., etc.) I highly recommend Gatherings Plus for any type of reunion. Pam makes the person in charge of the reunion look great because she takes care of everything. Our group had a wonderful, relaxing time, without the stress of scheduling, arranging for food, etc. We were able to use our time for visiting and enjoying our family time! Thank you Pam and Gatherings Plus!!!

Pam Brown and Gatherings Plus made our family reunion a real success. No one of us was burdened with planning, making reservations, buying tickets, etc. Pam took care of all of it.
That left us with time to enjoy the reunion with each other. We all appreciated the accommodations and easy access to the shows and attractions in Branson. I'm sure we will use Gatherings Plus again.

Dear Pam,

You can add the crew and families of the USS MACDONOUGH Reunion Association to your long list of very satisfied customers! I heard over and over that the Branson Reunion was the best reunion we have had! I know we had the best care in the hands of you, Jodie and Norma. Jodie and Norma interjected extra fun into things with their wit and wisdom when they were with us. This is the first time we have used a planner and the group was really very pleasantly surprised to see just how smooth things can go! The memorial service at the Branson Belle was the most touching one we have had. Over and over I heard ‘most’ and ‘best’ used to describe the reunion. It was a great time and I thank you so much for making the dream a reality. Keep up the good work and God bless you and yours,
Clare L. Heavey

ON BEHALF OF OF THE CREW IN ATTENDENCE , A JOB WELL DONE IS GIVEN TO YOU AND YOUR STAFF .SUPPORT OF GATHERINGS PLUS WAS 4.0 . WE BE BACK SOMETIME IN NEAR FUTURE FOR A REPEAT .

The USS Compton (DD-705) held it's reunion in Branson and it was one of our best ever!! It was the first time we had a planning company run the event and Gatherings Plus did a fantastic job. Pam and her crew provided more for the buck than we could have set up on our own. Things were perfect from the welcome reception to the "talking dogs" on the Showboat. It is obvious that Pam, Jodie and Norma love what they do. Joe Napoli, Compton Reunion Planner

My first association with Pam Brown was through a Navy reunion several years ago. We subsequently had three reunions and she did them all with great organization and caring that our groups had a good time.

This time I contacted her about a family reunion. She was so helpful and took care of arranging everything. My family had a wonderful three days packed with events, lots of laughter, a shuttle for anywhere we wished to go, dinners planned with good choices for food. We felt pampered and cared for from the time we arrived until it was time to leave. I would not hesitate to recommend Pam and Gathering's Plus to anyone visiting Banson. Joan Milne

We just returned from our reunion in Branson. We were very satisfied from start to finish. Jodie was our coordinator. She was exceptional. We didn't have to ask for anything, she had everything we needed. The bus driver, John was great. Everyone is very grateful to Gatherings Plus for a great reunion. We will be seeing you again.

PAM BROWN & COMPANY AT "GATHERINGS PLUS" KNOW HOW TO STAGE A GROUP GET-TOGETHER! AS HONORARY MEMBERS OF THE USS CARPENTER (DD-825) SHIPMATES' ASSOCIATION, MY WIFE AND I HAVE NOW ATTENDED THREE REUNIONS UNDER THEIR MANAGEMENT AND CAN VOUCH FOR THEIR CAPABILITIES AND THE SUCCESS OF THESE ASSEMBLIES. FIRST, THEY UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF THEIR ROLE IN FINDING THE APPROPRIATE PLACE TO HOUSE THE GUESTS, MAKE THEM FEEL WELCOME, AND OFFER THE AMENITIES THAT MAKE THE EXPERIENCE FULFILLING; SECOND, THEY FIND OUT ABOUT THE AREA OF THE MEETING, AND THE SITES AND EVENTS THAT ARE MOST POPULAR, AND SET UP TOURS TO COVER THEM IN COMFORT; AND, THIRD--AND VERY IMPORTANT--, THEY UNDERSTAND BUDGETING AND WORK HARD TO KEEP COSTS DOWN. THEY ENJOY WORKING WITH GROUPS AND DO THEIR GOOD WORK VERY WELL. THERE WAS A MARKED CONTRAST IN THE QUALITY OF THE REUNIONS HELD BEFORE AND AFTER "GATHERINGS PLUS" WERE HIRED.
IT IS WITH CONFIDENCE THAT YOU WILL BE PLEASED THAT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU PUT YOUR NEXT GROUP MEETING IN THE QUALIFIED HANDS OF PAM BROWN AND HER STAFF.

You conducted several of our reunions in Branson. Although our numbers are declining we appreciated the thoroughness of your services to us. Good venues and tlc.

Hey! YOU ROCK!!!!!

We attended a reunion in Branson this past summer, that Gatherings Plus helped to arranged. They did a fantastic job. They took care of shows, meals, transportation and every other detail I can think of. They were friendly and always available to answer any questions we had. I would strongly recommend them to help with a future reunion.

Dear Pam, Norma, Jodie and all of the Gatherings Plus family. We just saw your impressive website and wanted to let anyone, wbeepis considering having a military reunion in Branson to be sure to contact you. Not only is Branson military friendly, but with the coordination of sights, shows, lodging, meals and transportation by Gatherings Plus the friendliness is multiplied ten-fold. Frank and I have been the planners for 3 of our OCS Class of 1949 reunions, and have never had such peace of mind that every detail was taken care of. From our first meeting with Pam we realized that we had someone wbeepreally listened to the needs of our group, its budget, interests, physical limitations and quirks. The reunion schedule was set and all we had to do was sit back while Gatherings Plus made the arrangements for every detail. They handled the communications, billing and follow-up making this one of the best reunions we have ever had. What more could one ask from a reunion planning company?? Our time together at these OCS reunions is very special, for we have become family to each other, and we feel that Gatherings Plus treated each and every one of us as if we were family to them. This is the one-stop-shop for military reunions regardless of the make-up or needs of the group. LTC Ret. US ARMY Frank Shelby and Dr. Angel Kelly-Shelby

I am so glad that we used Gatherings Plus for our first reunion in Branson, MO. Pam was so helpful in making our reunion happen. She was a total professional and left no stone unturned when it came to making our reunion the total success that it was. We did not use Gatherings Plus for our second reunion in San Antonio, TX in 2006. What a big mistake that was! Although everyone had a good time, the person we dealt with on our reunion was not very professional, did not live up to the terms of the agreement we signed and at times was nasty to some of the attendees. We learned a hard lesson. For our third reunion, we are returning to Branson because we know Gatherings Plus will make an enjoyable event. We knew that we could leave the planning of our reunion to Pam and her great staff. Please send anyone our way if they want our highest recommendation for Gatherings Plus. God Bless you all at Gatherings Plus. Jim and Gail Seymour

Pam, thank you for all that you do to make our Time in Branson so enjoyable. The care and attention that you provide makes our stay worry free. Keep up the good work.

In May 2003, Pam Brown and her "crew" were reorganizing an already great Military Reunion organization but she provided us the best reunion place, programs, shows, transportation and all we needed without virtually turning a hand on our own. Gatherings Plus will do the best and most friendly job of all, in my opinion. I was the reunion Chairman and you can check out our website www.ussperry.com and click on the third reunion button to verify. Branson, MO is an excellent spot for a reunion to see and do so many things you won't find in other "coastal" or military cities across America. Our reunion was filled with things to do and some of the best professional shows you will see outside of New York or Las Vegas. Gatherings Plus does it up right. Like ours, you will find total satisfaction from all attendees. Our survey of over 120 attendees on exiting, told us that. Whatever you need or require, Pan and her "crew" will provide in apple pie order on a first class basis. Go for it, particularly if you've never been to Branson, MO before or had Gatherings Plus handle your total reunion. Good Luck to you!
