55th Reunion PHOTOS

Reunion !

Update:  You may have heard, the 50th Reunion's over!  For memory's sake, we'll leave this schedule on the site to help us remember what we did.

A bloc/block of rooms is reserved for us at the Airport Hilton  (click for info) for this Friday & Saturday nights SEPTEMBER 29 & 30th at $74/night. If you're arriving earlier or staying later, call Melissa Arellano, 915 774-6940, we're listed as the Austin High 1956 Reunion, and Melissa will give you a Thursday 28th rate of $109 so hurry before these rooms are gone!  The Marriott's even out of Senior rates for those nights (was $144) so get a move on or pay through la nariz. 

The Marriott number is
1-800-228-9290 and their direct line is 1-915-779-3300. Make your own arrangements, RESERVATIONS MUST BE MADE NOW to receive the special rates, we only have a certain number of rooms so don't delay and end up paying more than twice as much.

 HOW TO REGISTER for the REUNION if you have not already done so:

The registration form was mailed in mid-July to everyone for whom we have addresses.  If you didn't receive one or misplaced it, well now it's too late to mail the forms (link below) unless you live in El Paso, but for those flying in, you can download, fill out and turn in when you register Friday or Saturday night at the door.  Or just show up with money, honey, and you'll be welcome without the registration forms.  

To access the forms, OPEN the REGISTRATION FORM link below and PRINT, fill out and take the forms to Reunion with you, or mail if you can get them in on time.  Questions should be addressed to Corinne Abeyta-Spinnler, CASGallery@elp.rr.com.
