This letter is on it’s way out… (one hard copy per family). Please check out the details!

Hello All! First and foremost, please be sure to make your hotel reservations. The cut-off date for this is Sunday, May 21st! Also the phone number to call for Mancuso reservations is… 877-584-6835. Keep in mind, though the reunion dates are Thurs 06/22/06 through Sunday 06/25/06 the reduced rates are available for your benefit beginning Tues 06/20/06 and ending Sun 06/25/06 (with a Monday am checkout).

After much checking around, we finally settled on the locations for a reception on Thursday evening and group Dinner on Saturday. Much planning and research was done to ensure our meals are pleasing and affordable.

On the original agenda we had said that the reception would be held at the hotel. The cost for this, however, and for the Saturday dinner at that location, were considerably more than expected. On to plan B…

We confirmed a reception at the “Wild, Wild, West” which is diagonally across from the hotel from 6:30PM until 9:30PM on Thursday evening. We are looking forward to this. The Thursday receptions have truly become an outstanding kick-off to our reunion events! The menu will include finger foods, soft drinks, water and coffee. Cash bar will be available.

For our Saturday evening group Dinner we will gather at the Olive Garden at 1545 East Flamingo Road. Dinner will begin at 6:30PM. The menu here will include your choice of four Italian entrées plus soup, salad, breadsticks and beverages.

The total cost, per individual, for both meals combined is:

ï‚· Teen to Adult – $37.00
ï‚· Children – ages 5 through 11 – $27.00

Using the enclosed form (copy also available at our website next week – www.mancusoreunion.com), please take an accurate count of who will attend from your group. This completed list plus a check for the amount due should be mailed to the address below for receipt by April 30, 2006.

This communication is being distributed to one key contact per family, and will also be added to our website with e-mail notification as well. If you are the key contact please ensure your family members are aware of this distribution.
