A few words from Ali Baluchi

Lost your badge number?

What should I budget for?

The non-refundable registration fee of $150 covers some of the basic costs of

running the reunion. Some activities and trips will also have associated fees,

but all events are optional. You must decide which activities you want to be

involved in and what your budget will allow.

Airfare and hotel is an additional cost to the participant. Discounts at select

hotels are currently being arranged and you will be notified of these as soon as

they are ready. A reunion shuttle bus will be provided to hotels designated for

the reunion but if you choose to stay in alternative accommodations, you will

be responsible for your own transportation each day.

There will be many shopping opportunities!!
