Dear AramcoBrat,

Even if you are sure you are not interested in the reunion, READ THIS
MESSAGE! (Especially number 3)

3- New Simplified Reunion Registration Process!!!

1-Reunion Update

Only six short weeks to go! As things currently stand, 419 people
have completed their registrations and mailed them back. This is
shaping up to be as fine a reunion as we have ever had. The good
news is that there is plenty of room for all the procrastinators and
undecideds to get in on the reunion action this coming Memorial Day
Weekend. Contrary to early reports -- blame it on erroneous
communications from the main hotel -- *nothing* is sold out. Rooms
are available for all nights at the El Conquistador, so make a
reservation now to ensure you don't miss a thing throughout the
reunion. (Reunion Hint: Some of the best and most memorable reunion
experiences happen between midnight and sunrise. If you're asleep at
another hotel or a friend's place, you are just flat out going to
miss those altogether.) So pick up the phone and call 1-800-864-1284
to make your room reservation. Do it now.

If the reunion registration process just seems too complex and that's
holding you back, jump down to number 3 below for some great news.

2-Reunion Goodies -- What You Will be Missing if You Don't Go to the
Reunion

The reunion committee and the ABI have planned another fantastic
weekend which includes live music each night, special drink prices,
discounted room rates, an abundance of door prizes, the ever popular
raffle/auction, the Sunday night banquet, the live auction, pinatas,
bowling, golf, tennis, group and class photos, class party night, the
opportunity to relive your childhood, visit with old classmates, meet
new Brats, reminisce, have fun, and much more. But then, all of that
just goes without saying.

What you probably don't know is that, thanks to a generous cash
contribution from Aramco Services Company, the reunion committee has
personal shoppers scouring the streets of Al Khobar even as you are
reading this. The resulting hoard of baubles and treasures from our
shared past will be shipped to the reunion to be used as prizes,
gifts and door prizes throughout the weekend. The only sure thing is
that if you aren't there, you won't be able to share in this
incredible bounty.

Are you someone who remembers hours playing Spades, Hearts or
Backgammon with friends as a primary form of social interaction.
Does the reunion committee have a deal for you! Come to the reunion
and check out Auntie Di's Perfectly Fabulous Game Room. Grab an old
friend and challenge them to a rematch of that game you lost so long
ago in the land of our
youth.

Now, this is just a rumor, but there may be some olfactory
stimulation to be had at the reunion this time as well. Sources
report the heady aroma of warm pita bread, slow-roasting meat and
rich tahini sauce might be found emanating from one or two small
stands around the pool throughout the weekend. Wink, wink. If this
is something that matters to you, you know what we're talking about.

There is so much more, but time is short. The only way to experience
it all is to reserve a room and register today. Which conveniently
leads us right into the third topic of this announcement.

3- Registration Made Easy -- A New Simplified Reunion Registration
Process

Time is short. Decisions need to be made very soon on the number of
t-shirts and other goodies to order. The sooner you register the
more accurately the reunion committee can estimate what needs to be
ordered.

If you have not received your registration packet yet, it is most
likely because you haven't paid your AdBak and/or filled out the
reunion survey. In the interest of streamlining and making it easier
for you to register, we have decided to eliminate these steps between
now and the reunion. If you want a registration packet mailed to
you, please e-mail Erica at ericamel@comcast.net or call at
*82-1-520-529-2164 (*82 unblocks your phone number to ensure your
call goes through). She will need your full name (first, maiden and
last), your correct address, and your District and Year. You can pay
the required AdBak, registration fee, and late registration fee in
one shot and mail it all back with your completed reunion
registration. We'll sort it all out for you and you'll be all set in
one easy step!

Even more important though is for you to call and reserve a room at
the El Conquistador immediately! Don't wait for your registration
package to arrive. Do it now. It will become more difficult to
secure a room at our reduced rate (if at all) after April 30. Call
the El Con for reservations at 1-800-864-1284. Make sure you say you
are with the AramcoBrats.

BONUS MESSAGE -- If you've read this far, you really are someone who
should be at the reunion. The bottom line is this: These things are
magic. They renew, revive and rejuvenate us like nothing else can.
Come home. Spend the weekend with a few hundred friends who know you
like nobody else can.
