It's NUMBER 6 . . . and promises to be even better than the first five!!!

W
ith each reunion, groups representing different times in Sasebo have come together.  The experience has shown us that it doesn't matter "when" we were in Sasebo...the experience was the same for all.  So whether you were in Sasebo in the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's or last week, this is YOUR Reunion! 

If you joined us in 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006 and/or 2008, you know how very special it was to see each other again, especially after having spent so many years believing that such a moment could never happen.  If you haven't joined us, or several Reunions have passed since your last appearance, don't convince yourself that you'll "catch the next Reunion".  Those friends that have been waiting to see you again may not be available or able to make that "next Reunion".  And, if for some reason you have doubts that the Reunion may not meet your expectations, all you'd be risking is 4 days out of your life to know for sure.

(P.S.) Several of your friends, classmates, and previous Reunion attendees are betting that your expectations will be exceeded.

IN CONCLUSION:

Make plans to be there.  "You are the Reunion!!!"  Opportunities to reconnect with friends and add to the memories we all shared are priceless!

Secondly, make your room reservations early.  Please don't wait until the very last minute as we are only able to secure the group's contracted rates for a limited number of rooms, and for a limited amount of time.

And last, but not least, PLEEEEAAAAASE send in your Registration Form and fees as soon as possible, as much of our planning relies on your early commitment.

After completing the above assignment, go through your attic, basement, or garage and dig out those pictures, yearbooks, and mementos from Sasebo to share with all of us at the Reunion.

We are also planning to hold a "silent auction" to raise $ to offset our costs.  If you have any questions, concerns, or would like to help with the Reunion, call  John Gordon at (949) 458-2967, e-mail fenwayjack@cox.net, or Jo Wilson Emerson at (651) 653-0731, e-mail wjwe@aol.com .

The word has gone out to the citizens of Las Vegas..."It's Sasebo time!"  Regardless of when you were in Sasebo, whether you were a student, teacher, parent, in the Service, or related to, or just a friend to any of the aforementioned, come and celebrate the magic that was Sasebo!!

P.S.  Your family and friends have listened to you talk about Sasebo for many years.  Now's the chance to bring them with you so they can see and experience first-hand what made that time in your life so special.  Bring your spouses, companions, parents, children, relatives and friends.  Our scheduled Reunion events are designed to interest all of them, and if that isn't enough, they'll have the rest of Las Vegas to keep them entertained.
