Ditto to what Tom Frederick said.
Our reunion could not have been so successful in such a short time (6 months) if it weren't for Gatherings Plus. And also thanks to all that attended on this first reunion.

Branson is SUCH a patriotic and veteran friendly town.
The Clay Cooper show was the highlight of that expression towards veterans. It is a MUST SEE show. It's main focus is country & western, but it is much more than that, and it makes it all fun.

My daughter and I attended the reunion for USS Hoel in October. We had a great time. We both agreed that Gatherings Plus did a fine job in making our visit a real success. I would highly recommend Gatherings Plus to anyone thinking about any sort of reunion or gathering. Good Job.

Many thanks to Pam and her crew for providing our group with our tours and transportation during our 58th reunion in Branson. We've dealt with many tour companys over the past 58 years and Gatherings Plus is by far the most efficient, courteous and reasonably priced. Thanks & job WELL DONE !!

Thanks to Gatherings Plus for putting together a first rate program for our reunion and for a great job coordinating the events. It was a big success!!!

We had our very first reunion for our ship, and it couldn't have been better. We planned this in 6 short months and Pam and her crew did a remarkable job. I have tried to ask most of my 80 plus reunion veterans and their wives, and didn't hear anything negative. Everyone was so happy to get together, and Gatherings plus and the Barrington Hotel did everything we expected. I would use her again; in fact, we already discussed her assistance with our second reunion that will be held in Jacksonville, Florida. And Branson is probably one of, if not the best towns to have a reunion in. Thanks to everyone that had a hand in this GREAT JOB. THANKS.

Pam: I want to thank you so much for all your help with the VOA reunion. Everyone had a really good time and everything went so smoothly. You and your staff were always helpful and positive. All-in-all it was wonderful.

Pam Brown and her organization organized a super reunion for our group. Everything ran smooth as silk and it was enjoyed by everyone. Her choices of shows and events was right on the mark. We are discussing using her company to do our reunion in Seattle, WA in 2011. Branson was an excellent place for our group to hold a reunion. In the vernacular of the Navy BRAVO ZULU (well done!).

Pam, my sincere thanks to you and Gatherings Plus for all you did to produce an outstanding reunion for our 220 attendees. Everyone was very impressed with our hotel, The Lodge of the Ozarks, the shows we attended and our banquet. We hope to use Gatherings Plus for our future reunions at other locations as well as a return to Branson.

Pam and your group:

What a reunion!!! Settling in afterwards we have received emails and thank you cards that say that this was the most fun reunion we have had in our past 5....it was the first one Deanna and I have been able to relax and enjoy and visit with shipmates because you had already done or were doing those little tasks that take so much time and attention. We can tell you that we received "0" complaints throughout the entire reunion (with exception of our resident complainer) and is not happy unless complaining.

The shows were great - think you all did an outstanding job of choosing the ones that our folks would like...but our highlight was the hospitality suite which was busier this reunion that at any past ones....it worked out perfect.

But our main thank you is making us the "winner"...thanks for going to bat for us.

VP-48 would strongly recommend to anyone that they use Gathering's Plus for their next reunion. This was our first experience using a Reunion Planner....and now we will not have another reunion without using Gatherings Plus.

It was a blast from the past for the 504th and they know all about blasts. These B-29 pilots and crew members played a key role in dropping the Atomic Bomb and ending the War in 1945. This being their 21rst reunion and definitely one of the best. Thanks to Pam Brown and her Gatherings Plus associates their Branson reunion was a fun full four days of shows, tours, banquets and memorials that were enjoyed by all.
Our thanks go out to Pam, Jodie, Norma and Bonnie at the Grand Plaza for making us welcome, comfortable and highly entertained in Branson. I would highly recommend them to any group wanting to enjoy the scenery and shows in the Ozarks of Missouri.
Sincerely, Jim Connally
President, 504th BG

This is the first time in USS Okanogan's 19 consecutive annual reunions that our group has used a reunion planner, and we could not have been more satisfied than we were with Gatherings Plus. Pam and her whole staff made sure that we were thoroughly happy with our accommodations, hospitality room and trips/shows that were the highlight of our stay in Branson. I have never received so many good comments from my shipmates about this reunion, which thanks to Pam & her Company was so successful. We look forward to returning to Branson very soon for a future reunion, and will for sure come knocking on Pam's door to again make all the arrangements for our group.

Our members really had a good time at the recent reunion on 9/20/09 thanks to the efforts of Pam Brown and her associate Jodie. They offered so much more than we have ever had in previous reunions. Our membership had nothing but praise for all the food, memorial services and great shows. I recommend anyone seeking a reunion planner to call Pam at Gatherings Plus as I will in the future when we come back. Harold Buehler

This is the 2nd reunion that we have used GATHERINGS PLUS. Pam, Jodie and Grandma make quite a team. We never wanted for anything. The shows the set up for us were great. And it seemed like we were always heading for another resturant to eat, again. The POW/MIA ceremonty they held for us was just super, especially seeing that we had a POW in our group.
We stayed at the BARRINGTON HOTEL. It to was just super. The staff their treated us super, like they really cared that we were there. I don't recall ever having that great of treatment at any other hotel.
Thanks again to Pam and her crew.

Pam, thanks for all the hard work done by you, Jodie, Mary, and the Gatherings Plus team in making our reunion in Branson a great success. Feedback from the members was VERY positive. This is the first time our organization has used a reunion service and you exceeded our expectations. We'll be back to Branson and back in touch with you to execute other reunions in other cities for us in the future.

Hi Pam: I just reviewed the web page you have set up for our reunion and it is great. Thank you for the great time you provided Jean and Rene. They were extremely pleased and our officers are all for visiting Branson. I just hope that we Marines and families are all healthy to take advantage of your hard work. See you in Branson. Robby
