Members are encouraged to post all planned meetings/luncheons here on the website. It could be a great place for members to learn about any such gatherings in their area so that they can visit and share notes with former co-workers and, hopefully, with those who are still in the "trenches." Your input is earnestly solicited.

Eddie Malo's Memorial Luncheons


We meet every Thursday at noon. We have a rotation of six eateries in the Daytona Beach area we regularly visit, but we occasionally venture to a local airport for a change of pace. We have no organization, no rules, no dress code, conduct no business, and only pick up our own checks.

I would be the contact person and I would ask that if anyone wants to join us, to drop me a line before hand so they can find the secret location du semaine. That will also alert me to an additional body for planning purposes.

The rate this year will be $119.00 which does not includes taxes.  Room cancellation policy is 6 p.m. of the day of arrival. The new Marriott Bistro serves breakfast ($) or there are numerous restaurants in the area. 

You can make your reservations anytime, and the deadline for getting our rate is 5/20/2016. The reservation Group Code is SOA in the name of “DTW/SOAP Reunion" and the telephone number is 810-225-9200. We would appreciate it if you would advise us when you make reservations so we may keep a record on who is planning to attend. Our home phone number is 248-305-5967 and email is jholtsclaw@earthlink.net we are looking forward to another great get-together.

Regards to all,
