REUNION NEWS

FS-8611 (Baumholder Vets): 27 September - 1 October 2003, Colorado Springs, CO:

We will be staying at the Red Lion Hotel, just a couple of blocks from the heart of downtown Colorado Springs, where it's convenient to walk to fine shops and restaurants from the hotel door. We have been given a special
Reunion Rate of $79.00 per night including full buffet breakfast. The hotel provides Free Shuttle Service to and from Colorado Springs Airport. They have also agreed to give us a large, comfortable Hospitality Suite where we
can get together any time we like and bring in all our own food and beverages; and they'll even supply the ice!

To make your reservation at the $79.00 Reunion Rate, call their Special
Group reservations line:   1-800-477-8610 and tell them you're with the "BAUMHOLDER REUNION"

You can take a virtual tour of the hotel on their website:  http://www.redlion-cos.com
The Red Lion will hold these rooms for us until August 1.

We have also planned some really fine tours for your enjoyment. There is so much to see and do in this area that tours are planned to continue even after the "official" end of the Reunion. The hotel has agreed to extend our
special Reunion Rate three days before and three days following the "official" Reunion, so that you can fly in, stay over a weekend, and enjoy an extended vacation at a reasonable price for nine full days!
