     Greetings Member of Apache Junction High Class of 1992!

     Come join your old high school classmates and possibly a few teachers. The AJHS Class of 1992, 10-year reunion is upon us!
     Below you'll find a host of information including when, where, what, and how much. Everything needed to plan your trip should be listed. For those coming from out of state, we've taken the liberty of providing the contact/pricing information of several local hotels.
     We need mailing addresses and phone numbers from everybody. We are going to be mailing out official invitations to get a proper count of people that are going to attend.
     If you have any questions, please call Soren Saggio at (480) 354-6092 or email Soren at "ssaggio (at) gmail (dot) com".

Dates:

Friday - October 18^th, 2002

$55 for dinner - OUCH:
Since the diner is the MAIN event, we are encouraging everyone to be present for it. Face it, this is a 10 year reunion, $55 isn't very much when you consider the tremendous work, planning, and effort that it is taking to make this happen. Please don't "blow off" this Reunion because you feel "nobody wants to see me" or "there's nobody there I want to see" - I personally am excited to see EVERYONE! I'm excited even though all of the hardships of planning this reuion. If you truly cannot afford the $55 for dinner, then PLEASE show up at the "Family Fun Day" at Prospector Park on October 19th. Don't miss this ONCE in a lifetime opportunity to reunite with the names and faces of yester-year. Our next reunion won't be until 2012 or prehaps 2017, I'm hoping we have a HUGE extravaganza then which will make this $55 look like a small price to pay now.

Complete Cost Breakdown

Dinner PER Adult including TIP and TAX: $35.36
DJ cost for 5 hours including TAX and TIP: $564.00
