Congratulations to Mary Schrader-Tedsen (DH 1963) for winning the certificate for 2 nights/breakfast at the La Paloma during the reunion.

Thanks to all Brats who purchased the 74 raffle tickets! Because the raffle was for reunion attendees, the Board has voted to put all the proceeds toward some nibbles at the Friday night Opening Reception for everyone to enjoy! 

The raffle drawing was managed by a Reunion Oversight Committee member and the Database Director. Each raffle ticket was assigned a number from 1 to 74. The actual ticket drawing was performed using a random number generator:  Our President, who was not privy to who owned which ticket, was sent a link to the random number-generating program along with the ticket number ranges to be used.  The random number generator returned a list of 5 unique ticket numbers, the first of which was our winner.  The other 4 tickets are backup (in the order pulled) winners in case the original winner is unable to attend the reunion. The President forwarded the ticket number list to the ROC member and Database Director who then matched ticket numbers to names in the spreadsheet.

So you didn't win...  You still have the opportunity to win 1 comp night.  Go to http://www.aramco-brats.com/Reservations to learn how to sign up. 

As in the past, we will have a wide variety of items - from brass camels and candlesticks, stuffed animals, bedu jewelry, decorative brass plates, coffee pots, hookahs and incense burners to cookbooks, books and manuals. Items are still coming in via donations from fellow brats (Have something you wish to donate?  Contact raffleauction@aramco-brats.com).  Among our goodies should be something which strikes your eye - something which you always regretted not having collected while you were there (perhaps your budget was nonexistent?).

Take advantage of our discounted prices by purchasing your raffle tickets online between now and May 20th!  The online sales will close on that date, to give us time to tabulate the ticket purchases and have your tickets ready for you at registration. The more tickets you buy, the greater your chances of winning the raffle item(s) you have bid on.

April 30, 2013 - Last day to cancel a sporting event in order to receive a refund of sports fees.  After this date, you may find someone to take your place and reimburse you directly.

May 1, 2013 - Last day to register for complimentary room night drawing. In order to qualify for this drawing, you must have a reservation with the hotel, have paid your AdBak and have paid in full your registration to attend the reunion prior to the drawing. For more information on the comp night drawing, see Hotel Reservations page.

Soon we will be printing ballots for our Biennial ABI Boad elections and sending them out to all Brats for voting.  We will elect a new President, Vice president, Treasurer and Secretary to serve the Brats for the term from Nov. 1, 2013 - Oct. 31, 2015.

Do YOU have an interest in serving the Brats as a member of the Board?

Do YOU have special skills and abilitites which would be useful in shepherding this diverse and special group?

If YES! is your answer, go to the nominations page on our website and let us hear from you!  We need all nominations and candidate statements by April 15th, 2013 in order to include them in the ballot mailer!
