I will have family reunion packets available at the front desks of the Fairfield Inn and Days Inn--but I don't know who is staying where.
Please email me at tldiaz_99@yahoo.com with the name of your hotel by THIS THURSDAY, and I will have one with your group's name waiting for you at the front desk.
If your group is NOT staying at the Fairfield (or surrounding Marriot hotels) or Days Inn, I will have a packet at the Friday evening informal gathering at Beethoven Mannerchor---SEE BLOG for directions/map, or CALL someone on the previously sent cell phone list, like one of the main Diaz elders.
Mike, I know you all are staying at the Marriot Courtyard, which is right next to the Fairfield, so I will leave a packet with your madre.
Also, please feel free to print out anything from this blog and bring it with you, since the information is accurate and includes directions and maps, too.

Reunion Schedule Overview
When you check into the Fairfield Inn or the Days Inn, there will be a reunion packet that includes all the weekend information.
If you are staying at another location, check in with the Fairfield Inn for a packet. I will also have additional packets at the informal Friday evening gathering spot, Beethoven Mannerchor.
I recommend printing out anything on this blog and related links beforehand to bring with you, just in case, such as maps, other Web page links, and location information.
Reunion t-shirts will be distributed at the Saturday evening dinner, to be worn on Sunday at the reunion picnic, if you want.
I will also send out the cell phone list via email attachment for printing out beforehand; I will also include it with the reunion packet.

Head Count for Saturday Eve Dinner by MAY 28
I just need to have a good idea as to how many people are coming for the Saturday evening dinner, so I can figure out how much food and what the cost per person will be. It is OK if more people come than originally estimated, since that will reduce the cost per person! However, I'd like to know sooner than later! Scroll down to the original post for more information about the dinner location.
Please submit--only if you have not already done so--the number of people (adults and children) in your party (as well as other friends and guests you expect to come) by clicking on this link: Family Reunion Dinner Count.
