We are bumping up against our hotel room block limit on peak nights for the reunion.  If you have a room reservation but know you will NOT be attending, it would be greatly appreciated if you could release your rooms NOW.  Shukran!

This is a fairly large hotel with some availability outside of our room block.  However, they do expect to be sold out over Memorial Day weekend.  If you want to stay in the reunion hotel but have been unable to reserve a room in our block, we need you to follow the steps below.  We will do our best to move Brats off the wait list and into our room block.

1. Contact Liz to be put on the wait list. As rooms become available in our room block, we will offer those rooms to Brats on the wait list who are registered to attend the reunion.  The wait list will be honored chronologically. 
2. Register for the reunion* 
3. Book a room at the hotel through Hilton to be assured you have one. We recommend you sign up for Hilton Honors (it's free!) to get best rates.  
   • If you want us to be able to transfer your room to our room block, DO NOT book through any site other than Hilton (e.g. expedia, hotels.com)! If your reservation is not booked directly through Hilton, we will not be able to move you into our block and get you the reunion room rates.
   • If you want us to be able to transfer your room to our room block, DO NOT book a non-refundable room!  If you book a non-refundable room, we will not be able to move you into our block and get you the reunion room rates.
   • SEND your confirmation # to Liz.

As rooms become available in our room block, we will have Hilton move your reservation into our room block at our group rate.

*If you decide you cannot attend the reunion because we have been unable to offer you a room in our block, we will refund reunion registration fees for those stranded on the wait list provided:

• Your reservation was made between 3/12 - 4/30.
• You request to cancel  reunion registration by 5/1.
• You provide proof of  Squaw Peak Hilton hotel room cancellation.

Reunion raffle tickets are now available!  Why wait until you are in Phoenix? Save your faloose by purchasing your raffle tickets now at the pre-reunion discounted prices .  If you place your order now, they will be ready and waiting for you when you check in at the registration desk.  Offer is good through May 19th (midnight CST).  

All proceeds benefit YOUR ABI!

The Phoenix committee is planning the most unique and fun golf event ever at a Brat reunion.  For the first time, we are conducting the tournament at an 18-hole Par 3 course!  The advantages of having the tournament on a par 3 course is the tournament should take between 2 and 2.5 hours, and the short course makes this accommodating to players of all skill levels.  Now you can get your swings in, have a few cocktails, and still get back to the resort in time for more socializing and Aramco Brat fun poolside before the banquet.  

The format this reunion will be 2-person teams - Best Ball.  Play your own ball and take the best score between you and your partner.  We are also planning multiple on-course games like "closest to the pin" and "longest putt."

So...grab a partner and get signed up ASAP. The Mountain Shadows Golf Course is one of the most unique in Arizona as it backs up to Camelback Mountain and has gorgeous 360-degree views. You will not be disappointed by this location for the event!

Yallah! Registration is now open for the 2019 Biennial ARAMCO Brat Reunion! Make tracks back to Camelback in Phoenix, AZ! Home to some of our most popular reunions, Arizona's palms trees, bougainvillea, frangipanis and sand will take you back to your childhood in the sandbox. Pack your sunblock, swimsuits and BRATastic desire for fun with friends from long ago and come chill with us. We've got the heat beat with plenty of pools, waterfalls...and a winding, lazy river!
