We hope you will plan to attend the NYSCAA alumni reunion in Houston on
June 8 & 9, 2007. We have "special VIP guests" lined up to give
personal tours of the space center, and even sign a few autographs. If
you have never been to a reunion before, you will find a great breadth
of interesting folks of all different ages, stages, and interests. It
is a great chance to bring your family, as there will also be kids of
all ages attending.
Note that one-day registrations are available if you can't spend the
weekend. Please get your registration in as soon as possible, so that
we can finalize our head counts for all the events!
TODAY is the deadline for reserving rooms in our special block at the
Microtel Inn right across the street from NASA. It's a great rate,
so don't miss out on the opportunity for informal breakfasts with
other NYSC alumni, and all-around mixing it up!
