Subject: Hotel Reservations for Paseo 57 Reunion, Oct 12-14, 2007
Date: Friday, January 19, 2007 8:56 PM
As most of you know, our 50th Reunion is now firmly scheduled for the weekend
of October 12-14, 2007, at the Hyatt Regency Crown Center hotel in Kansas
City, near Union Station and the Liberty Memorial.
Plans are still being developed but will include opportunities for visiting and
renewing friendships on Friday afternoon and individual dinner plans that
evening, a tour of the new Paseo Academy on Saturday afternoon, banquet on
Saturday evening, and informal brunch on Sunday morning. The Hyatt provides a
first-rate venue for the event, with plenty of areas to visit and dining
opportunities, as well as access to the Crown Center shopping area with
additional eating places. There are a number of attractions at Union Station,
and the National World War I museum at Liberty Memorial is a "must see" if you
have the time.
We have blocked a small number of hotel rooms for our 50th Reunion
weekend. They are available for reservation on a first-come, first-served basis.
The room rate is $119 per night, not including taxes which should add
approximately $15 to the cost. This rate is $20 to $30 less than the
minimum advertised rates for that weekend, so they represent a real cost
saving for those taking advantage of them. There is no guarantee how long these
rooms will be available, so it would be a good idea to make your reservation
as quickly as possible. Although you have the option to cancel your
reservation up to three days before the event, we ask that you make the
reservations only if you plan to use them. It would be unfortunate if someone
attending the reunion were unable to get a room because of an unused reservation
In order to qualify for the $119 per night rate you have to identify
yourself as a member of Paseo High School Class of 1957. You can make the
reservation at Hyatts reservation service by calling 800-233-1234. Be
sure that the reservations are made for the Hyatt Regency Crown Center in Kansas
City, MO. You can obtain the rooms at this rate for Friday or Saturday nights,
October 12 and 13, 2007, or both.
If you find that the $119 room rate is not available when you ask for your
reservation, do NOT make a reservation at a higher rate. Give me a call
at 913-239-0270 or
click here to contact me by email
and give me the details. We should be able to increase the number of rooms we
can get if the request is made early enough.
It will be a while before we are able to announce the cost of the reunion
itself. We are attempting to keep that cost as low as possible while providing a
quality event suitible for our half-century mark. There have been several
gifts to our class fund that will help reduce individual costs somewhat.
If you need to contact me, note that I plan to discontinue using the email
addresses roy@busdkr.com and paseo57@busdkr.com in the near future because of
the extraordinary amount of spam that is coming in on those addresses. Please
change your email address book entry to my address from one of the email that
you received.
Continue to check the class website at www.paseo57.org or www.busdkr.net/paseo
from time to time to pick up changes and late news, and pass the word on to any
classmates you know who do not have access to the internet.
Best regards,
