Official Reunion Ac vi es

Recep on
The 2018 RAFINO Reunion “Kick-Off” starts at 6:30 pm, Wednesday, in
the Seminar Room of the Isleta Resort - Casino, which is also the
location of the Hospitality Room. Food, drink and friends, what more
could you ask for? Well, we have a few surprises in mind, including some
door prizes. But we can’t stay up too late, Balloon Fiesta early the next
day.

Memoriam

We will be honoring our deceased finance comrades and their spouses at
the New Mexico Veterans’ Memorial, Saturday afternoon. A short 20-
minute bus ride from the host facility, it is a fitting place to show our
respect. We will board the buses at 1:00 pm and be back before 3:30 pm.
There is a nice veterans museum on-site.

Business Mee ng

It’s not all fun and games at a RAFINO Reunion; we’ve got business to
get to also. The biennial RAFINO business meeting is Saturday morning
at 9:00 am in the Rio Bosque Room. We will get the Secretary/Treasurer
report and ratify the RAFINO elections and bylaw changes. Say good-bye
to the outgoing president and welcome the incoming president. Troy Clay
will give a presentation on the 2020 RAFINO Reunion in Charleston, SC.
,and CSM Gennaro Penn, US Army Financial Management, will speak.

Reunion Banquet
The banquet will be in Grand Ballroom C, 7:00 pm, Saturday evening.
Just around the corner of the Hospitality Room, the banquet will be a
proper “Sit-Down” event with bottles of wine at the tables for toasting and
an anniversary cake celebrating 30 years of RAFINO and our 15th
Reunion. Preferred dress is Business Casual, but please, feel free to
wear your dress uniform.

The Party’s not over yet!

Back to the Hospitality Room where you can let your hair down, if you
still have some. We have an amazing, live entertainer planned, who plays
50’s, 60’s and 70’s music, and he takes requests.

RAFINO Nondenomina onal Church Service
Will be in the Room, at 8:00 am, Sunday morning. This is time set aside
to give thanks, Thanks to God, for allowing us to come together, have a
good time and a safe return.
