Mark your 2010 calendar NOW for the 22nd
Annual ASA Chitose Reunion. The dates are set for Monday September 20, 2010
through Friday September 24, 2010. Come early and stay late to enjoy the
great city of San Antonio, TX, also known for its friendly people!
This will be our third reunion to be held in San Antonio, TX. The hotel
selected will be the El Tropicano Riverwalk
Hotel http://www.eltropicanohotel.com/
. Originally opened in 1962 as the first hotel on the Riverwalk, a
recent multi-million dollar renovation has returned the
El Tropicano to the iconic 60”s style for
which it was once known. Other features include Mangos restaurant, the Tiki Bar,
and the Expresso Café that all offer outdoor verandas overlooking the scenic
river walk. Mangos features American cuisine with a tropical flair, Tiki Bar
offers exotic drinks, and Expresso Café serves specialty coffees, fresh salads,
and assorted sandwiches. At El Tropicano, you can take a dive in our
outdoor swimming pool, bask in the sun on the sun deck or work up a sweat in the
state-of-the-art fitness center.
San Antonio is not only the home of the Alamo, but offers many other
historical and fun loving places to visit. To name a few points of interest; the
Botanical Gardens, the Mexican Market, Sea World, and several museums and tours
are being planned to include some of these places. Additional tour details will
be available in the spring newsletter. Golfers will be playing at the Fort Sam
Houston Golf links
