    As some of you are aware, our room block at the reunion hotel is very full, but cancellations are trickling in. If you would like to be on a standby list for rooms at The Woodlands Resort, please sign up for the The Woodlands Resort Standby List. As rooms become available at The Woodlands Resort, we will offer them to reunion registrants in the order in which they have signed up for the standby list.


    As there are no guarantees we can accommodate everyone on the standby list, we recommend you make alternative arrangements for your stay which can be canceled if/when a room becomes available at The Woodlands Resort. We have a group rate at the Drury Inn & Suites The Woodlands, or book with another nearby hotel..
