We are currently planning for a special gathering for our BIG 50th Reunion this year. We don't want anybody to miss attending this exciting event!
There will be many opportunities for us to see each other, visit, and have fun!!
The Reunion Weekend is planned for September 17 - 19, 2010, at the Red Lion Hotel at the Park, downtown Spokane. The Red Lion is located at the north edge of Riverfront Park at (303 West North River Drive) and provides a beautiful, central location for many of our weekend events.
HOTEL RESERVATIONS: Because of another event in Spokane the same weekend, it is VERY IMPORTANT that hotel reservations be made right away! Call 1-(800)-733-5466 and mention "Rogers' 50th Reunion"; do NOT try it on-line! The Red Lion has rooms available for us at the "Special Room Rate" of $129/night.
We have also made arrangements with Holiday Inn Express Downtown Spokane, 801 N. Division, a block east of the Red Lion, for a number of rooms to be held for our group at their special rate of $109/night (plus tax and a $2+ tourism assessment promotion fee) - and it includes a deluxe complimentary breakfast each morning. Call the Holiday Inn Express, toll free: 1-877-863-4780, and be sure to mention "Rogers' 50th Reunion"! (Or, see the attached list of other local hotels in close proximity.)
