2026 Registration Closed, Totals Update – Michigan Bound

Registration for our 2026 Bastards Reunion officially closed on October 31, 2025 and we’re excited to report that 36 Marines and 20 guests are locked in for Michigan! All of the $150 deposits are present and/or accounted for, which means we can now calculate the final balance due and start planning the next steps.

With a balance due of $225 per Marine, we’ll have a surplus of funds enough to help cover food, supplies, and other incidentals for the reunion. That makes the total cost per Marine only $375 to attend. Not too shabby for a 3-day trip.

Reminder!

The Hop & Vine Inn has a very aggressive payment schedule. We’ve already paid the initial 25% deposit months ago.

The second $2,830 deposit is due November 16, 2025… a few days from now and we’ve got that covered already.

My final payment to the resort, the remaining 50%, is due Feb 16, 2026. That payment is $5,661. My final payment to Hop & Vine is due BEFORE your deadline to reimburse me. Help me out by paying your balance as soon as possible, but ultimately, if you don’t pay by April 30, 2026, your registration will no longer count. Pay now or start saving now!

Payments

With the exception of Zebrowski, most of you already know how/where to pay (Chet is the only one that screws it up every time). Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, Cash or Check, I’ll take it all.

Officially, payments are due no later than April 30, 2026 but as I mentioned above, get it in sooner rather than later.

To wrap things up…

We’ll share more details in the coming months about meal planning, activities, fundraiser shirts, and volunteer opportunities, but for now, mark your calendars and get ready for another unforgettable reunion in the Great Lakes State.

Semper Fi, and thanks to everyone who registered and got their deposits in on time.
