A note on the selection of the reunion site for 2012:
Your management team has selected Las Vegas once again for our reunion. Although other cities were visited and considered, we were able to negotiate a very attractive room rate and worked with the same hotel team that was very supportive for our 2010 reunion. Additionally, this hotel provided excellent food and services for our occasion. Moreover, since there were no volunteers to sponsor at other cities, the proximity of Las Vegas to the Los Angeles area and the availability and price of air transport made this a compelling choice.
The hotel is offering two extra days at our group rate for those who wish to book early; however, the reunion will not begin until check-in at the hospitality suite on Tuesday, October 16th.
