Our reunion committee is pleased to announce that our 50th reunion will take place at the Marriott Hotel in Irvine, California. The Meet and Greet arrival event will be held on Saturday evening, October 15, 2011 in our large and private luxurious meeting room on the 17th floor. The Reunion Event will be held the following evening, on Sunday October 16th. We were able to get reduced pricing at this quality hotel for a Sunday night event. On Monday there is an optional cruise planned for those who want a longer time to reconnect. This 4 day cruise is to the Mexican Riviera aboard the Carnival Fun Ship, Paradise. It will leave the Long Beach harbor on Monday October 17th at 5:30 pm. It will make stops in Avalon, Catalina, and Ensenada, Mexico. It will return to port on Friday morning at 8:00 am October 21st. CRUISE REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED.
The Marriott Hotel has been very reasonable with us in planning this event. They are able to offer us hotel rooms at $89.00 plus tax, per night and will be providing a plated meal for us on Sunday night at a reasonable cost. The complimentary room they are providing to us on the 17th floor is a lovely large room which allows us to reunite in comfort. The hotel is close to major freeways and the John Wayne Airport. Their partner company, Cruises Only has been wonderful to work with in the planning of our “after reunion cruise.” Due to Carnival cruise line constraints, registration for the cruise is now closed. If you have registered for the cruise and would like more information, call 1-888-969-4768 and ask for Christina at Extension 77211 or ask for another cruise specialist. Your $25 registration fee goes towards the total cost for the cruise. Those costs vary from $354.43 per person to $424.43 per person double occupancy, depending on the type and location of your cabin. This includes taxes and port fees. Additionally there is an optional charge of $39 for cruise insurance and a $10 per day per person tip. A Passport or a Passport Card is now required since there is a port in Mexico.
