Registration & Scholarships
Total Cost: $65 per person (includes dinner, Sunday lunch, and all scheduled activities).
Scholarships: We want every classmate to be able to attend regardless of financial circumstances. To keep costs low, we are using remaining funds from past reunions to subsidize this event. If you need a registration scholarship, please email Bill Finkelstein at bill@chaffey66.com. Your request will be kept confidential.
Lodging
We are negotiating a discounted rate at the Doubletree Ontario Airport. To secure this rate, we need a minimum number of committed rooms. If you are interested in staying at the hotel (standard rates are approx. $192–$198), please note this during signup.
Why This Year is Special
As we reach this 60th milestone, many of us feel this may be our last "large-scale" formal reunion. We hope to make this a truly memorable gathering before transitioning to smaller, informal meet-ups in the future.
