    Here's your cheatsheet for registration at the reunion.  Having access to AramcoBrats through the Wild Apricot Member app is going to really help you throughout the reunion, starting at registration.  If you haven't done so already, download the app, log in, and check it out!  If you are planning on joining us but haven't registered, try doing it with the app.  We think it's easier than on a desktop!

    We will also be enabling walk-in registration through the app, so you can register yourself and use the express line for checkin!

    As the reunion approaches, we'd like to remind attendees to stay apprised of and follow latest CDC recommendations, including getting a vaccine if you are a candidate. Please review ABI COVID19 Policy and hotel protocols prior to your journey as there may changes if the situation dictates.  The protocols published online by Loews are the official policies for the property.

    In keeping with public health measures, we are making a few changes to our traditional reunion events:

    • Registration check-in will use QR code scanning to pull up your registration record.  If you plan to register at the reunion, you can do that yourself by downloading the Wild Apricot Member app then proceeding to registration with with your QR code in your confirmation email or app.


    • The Friday night reception will include plenty of flow into outdoor space with seating.  Masks are required while you are in line for food service. Start time for this event may be pushed to allow for cooler temperatures.
    • The Sunday banquet venue is being moved from an inside venue to a ballroom/patio in order to provide plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating.  Seating per table will be reduced to allow for more spacing. Start time for this event may be pushed to allow for cooler temperatures.
    • The Live Auction event during the Sunday banquet is being changed to an online silent auction with reserve bids in order to allow the group to participate while using both indoor and outdoor space.  
    If you need to cancel, please keep these dates in mind:

    Don't forget that Early Registration closes Sunday, July 18th at 11:59PM CDT! You must be paid in full by then to get the $95 early registration rate. 

    Late registration (after July18th) and walk-ins will be $120. Reunion swag bags and contents are subject to availability for late registrants and walk-ins.

    If you need more good reasons to register early, we've got 3 for you!  Be sure to check out the Early Registration Raffle!


    Pro tip #1: Don't wait until 11:58PM on Sunday to discover you don't remember your login credentials!  We have 1 Database Director who will be getting slammed over the weekend.  As amazing as she is, she cannot respond to a bunch of requests  simultaneously at the last second.  Give yourself (and our Database Director) a little slack!

    Pro tip #2: If you have yet to become a member (create an online account) at www.aramco-brats.com, plan ahead and do that NOW!  You will need to allow time for membership request approval.

    Important dates

    July 19 - August 27 - Partial refunds will be given if you cancel between these dates.  No refunds after August 27th.

    August 15, 2021  - Final day to cancel golf or bowling for a full refund.  You may find a substitute to reimburse you for your spot after that date.
